Oh My Dear

    F                       A#
I called you up, you were in bed
               F                   
Could barely make out the words 
     A#
that you said
         F                   Am
But you wanted to see me instead
           A#
So I got dressed
        F                   A#
And I stepped out into the snow
     F                  A#
And walked for a mile or so
          F                        
Felt the rush of blood come from 
 Am             A#
the cold, in my chest


          F                    A#
Well you finally came to the door
        F                     A#
And we talked for an hour or more
          F                        
Until I asked if you would stay up 
   Am
till four

               A#
You said that's fine
         F                      
But you said there's something I 
          A#
have to say
       F                       
And I can't because I'm just so 
    A#
afraid
          F                        
And so I held you as you started to
  Am          A#
 shake, that night


Dm     F
Oh my dear
A#           A#
I will wait for you
Dm       F          A#       A#
Grace tonight, will pull us through

           F                    A#
Until the tears have left your eyes
           F                  A#
Until the fear can sleep at night
            F                   A#
Until the demons that you're 
         Dm
scared of, disappear inside
             F               A#
Until this guilt begins to crack
          F                     A#
And the weight falls from your back
Dm
Oh my dear
A#                          F
I'll keep you in my arms tonight

            F                   
You slowly lifted your head from 
      A#
your hands
            F                    
You said "I just don't think that 
           A#
youll understand
             F                 
Youll never look at me that way 
   Am                        A#
again, if you knew what I did"
             F                   
And so your tears fell and melted 
    A#
the snow
              F                  A#
You told me secrets nobody had known
           F                       
Oh, but I never loved you more even
   Am                       A#
 though now I knew what you did
