Lyrics

You can change your mind,

but you (Gm)can not change your heart.

Your heart knows when you’re (Gb)hid ing;

your (Gm)heart knows where you are.

I’d be my self

if I knew who I’ve be come.

You don’t have to fly too high to get (Bb)too close to the sun.

See the (Gb)boy fall from the (Bb)sky.

You will al ways be in (Ebm)front of me, e ven (Gm)as I dis ap pear from view,

for (Bb5)I have done not a (Ebm)sin gle thing with (Gm)out the thought of you.

But no, not here, not now, no way.

I’m not (Bb)read y to give up the fight.

If I can use a sin gle thread to cross the sky,

then why is the eye of the need le still your heart to night.

See how the (Gb)boy falls from the (Bb)sky.

(C#5)Oh,

(C#5)oh.

The cit y con ducts the sym pho ny;

I search through trash for a (Eb)mel o dy that might lead us back to dig ni ty in this (Bb)junk yard of hu (Eb)man i ty.

To let you go with (Gb6)out re gret.

I will for (Bb)ev er hold you al ways in my (Eb)heart in stead.

O ver the screams and the (Gb6)si ren’s wail, the on ly thing not (Eb)up for sale.

Our love is like lights on a (Gb6)mid night train: hearts like thun der, with no (Eb)sound of rain.

Light ning splits the sky, (Gb6)kiss es your face.

Yours is the sac ri fice; yours is the grace.

I hear your voice in (Gb6)side my head.

I will (Bb)lis ten to no bod y, not to (Eb)no one else.

From the (Bb5)bridge where we both stood and (Gb)stole the view, I saw the (Bb7)you in me, and the (Eb)me in you.

These are the (Bb)threads that bind, the ones we (Gb)have to weave.

They will (Bb7)hold us true, I be lieve.

I be lieve,

be (Bb)lieve,

be lieve, be lieve, be lieve, be lieve, be lieve,

ow!
