Lyrics

(C)This is how the sto ry went: I (Am)met some one by ac (G)ci dent

who (F)blew me a way,

(F)blew me a way.

And it was (C)in the dark est of my days, when you (Am)took my sor row and you (G)took my pain, and (F)bu ried them a way,

(F)bu ried them a way.

I (Dm)wish I could lay down be side you, (C)when the day is done.

And (Dm)wake up to your face a gainst the (Am)morn ing sun.

But like (Dm)ev er y thing I’ve (G)ev er known, you’ll (C)dis ap pear one (Am)day.

So I’ll spend my whole life hid ing my heart

a way.

(C)Dropped you off at the train sta tion and put a kiss on (G)top of your head.

(F)Watched you wave.

I (F)watched you wave.

Then I (C)went on home to my (F)sky scra pers, (Am)ne on lights and wait (G)ing pa pers, that (F)I call home.

I (F)call that home.

A way,

yeah.

I (C)woke up feel ing heav (F)y heart ed.

I’m (Am)go ing back to where I start ed.

The (F)morn ing rain,

the (F)morn ing rain.

And (C)though I wish that you were (F)here, on that (Am)same old road that (G)brought me here.

It’s (F)call ing me home.

It’s (F)call ing me home.

I (Dm)wish I could lay down be side you, (C)when the day is done.

And (Dm)wake up to your face a gainst the (Am)morn ing sun.

But like (Dm)ev er y thing I’ve (G)ev er known, you’ll (C)dis ap pear one (Am)day.

So I’ll spend my whole life hid ing my heart

I can spend my whole life hid ing my heart
