Standard (EADGBE)

I was lost till you were found

But I never knew how far down

 I was falling,

 before I reached the bottom

I was cold and you were fire

And I never knew how the pyre

 Could be burning,

 on the edge of the ice field

 And the now chilly California wind,

 is blowing down our bodies again

 And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand

 Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart

 And can t you see my faded Levis bursting apart?

 And don t you hear me crying;

 Oh babe, don t go?

And don t you hear me screaming;

How was I to know?

I m in the middle of nowhere,

near the end of the line

 But there s a border to somewhere waiting,

and there s a tankful of time

 Oh, give me just another moment, to see the light of the day,

 and take me to another land where, I don t have to stay

And I m going to need somebody to make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud,

 you know I love you

For crying out loud,

 you know I love you

For crying out loud,

 you know I love you

I was damned and you were saved,

and I never knew how enslaved,

 I was kneeling;

 in the chains of my master

I could laugh but you could cry,

and I never knew just how high,

 I was flying;

 ah, with you right above me

 And the now chilly California wind,

 is blowing down our bodies again

 And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand

 Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart

 And can t you see my faded Levis bursting apart?

 And don t you hear me crying;

 Oh babe, don t go?

And don t you hear me screaming;

How was I to know?

I m in the middle of nowhere,

near the end of the line

 But there s a border to somewhere waiting,

and there s a tankful of time

 Oh give me just another moment, to see the light of the day,

 and take me to another land where, I don t have to stay

And I m going to need somebody to make me feel like you do

And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud,

 you know I love you

For crying out loud,

 you know I love you

For crying out loud,

 you know I love you

For taking in the rain when I m feeling so dry,

 for giving me the answers when I m asking you why,

and my oh my,

 for that I thank you

For taking in the sun when I m feeling so cold,

 for giving me a child when my body is old,

and don t you know,

 for that I need you?

For coming to my room when you know I m alone,

 for finding me a highway and driving me home,

and you got to know,

 for that I serve you?

For pulling me away when I m starting to fall,

 for revving me up when I m starting to stall,

and all in all,

 for that I want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game,

 For praying for my future in the days that remain,

Oh, lord,

 for that I hold you

 Ah, but most of all

 For crying out loud,

 for that I love you

 Who, but most of all,

 for crying out loud,

 for that I love you

 Who, but most of all,

 for crying out loud,

 For that I love you

 When you re crying out loud,

 You know I love you
