Intro

G D Em C x2

If you were a stGone then I'd be the raiDn

Turn you tEmo sand as the time slipsC away

If you were a tGree then I'd be the eaDrth

Clutching yoEmur roots as you reach sCkyward

GI am a metaphor fDor all the things I couldn't say

Em It's never easy, then it hurCts

GLike scratching diamonds ID have tried to find my way to you

Em But we're both moving in reversCe

Pre Chorus:

G I wish that we could both find a sDimple way just to make it by

EmRight now I'm alright if you're just finCe

Pre Chorus

We'd count the starGs

My hands in your leavDes

And I'd hold my breaEmth 'til we both fell asleeCp

If you were a stoGne then I'd be the raDin,

Turn you to saEmnd as the time slips awaCy

(Mute chords early on)

GI will wait, I will wait, I will wait for

DI will wait, I will wait, I will wait for

EmI will wait, I will wait, I will wait for yCou

GI will wait, I will wait, I will wait for

DI will wait, I will wait, I will wait for

EmI will wait, I will wait, I will wait for yCou

If you were a stoGne then I'd be the raiDn,

Em C (End on C)

Turn you to sand as the time slips away
