Standard (EADGBE)

The song is mostly picked, and most of the C and G chords have the ii note played

(lifting the middle finger for the C and the index finger for the G).

(x4)

Just want something beautiful, I want to look in your eyes

 I want to listen to you sing my favorite song and cry

Want to reach into your oceans, want to calm your sea when it storms

 I want to let you take hold of this sinking ship and lead me home

But I'm not what you need

I've known you so much stronger

But you are such a pleasant fiction to me

So I guess that I'll dream of you a little longer

I want to pack up and move with you, oh and never look behind

I want to take your hand as we chase down the skyline

I want to tell you my stories, wake you up in the middle of the night

I want you to tell me when I'm wrong, and I just want you to smile at me when I'm right

(chorus)

Don't want to take the light from your eyes

 It would be nice if I could hold you tight

 While I lay in the sand

 You could love what's left of this lonely excuse of a man

(chorus)
