Lyrics

Just a bout the (Em7)time the shad ows call,

I un dress my mind and (D)dare you to fol low.

Paint a por trait of my mys ter y.

On ly close my eyes and (D)you are here with me, a (Em7)name less face to think I see, to sit and watch the waves with me

till they’re gone.

A (Em7)heart I’d swear I’d rec og nize is (Gsus2)made out of my own de vic es.

Could I be wrong?

The that I’ve (Em7)tak en

I (Em7)pray is not wast ed.

Have I (D)al read y (Em7)wast ed

my piece of (D)one (Em7)sweet love?

Sleep ness nights you creep in (Em7)side of me,

paint your shad ows on the (D)breath that we share.

You take more than just my san i ty;

you take my rea son (D)not to care.

No (Em7)or di nar y wings I’ll need; the (Gsus2)sky it self will car ry me back to you.

The (Em7)things I dream that I can do.

I’d (Gsus2)o pen up the moon for you.

Just come down soon.

The

(Em7)Read y and wait ing

for a (Em7)heart worth the break ing.

I’d set tle for an (D)hon est mis (Em7)take in

the name of (D)one (Em7)sweet love.

Sa vor the sor row to soft (Gsus2)en the pain.

Sip on the south (Bm)ern rain

as I (A)do.

I don’t look, don’t touch, don’t do an (Em7)y thing

but hope that there (Em)is (D)a you.

The (Em7)earth that is the space be tween, I’d (Gsus2)ban ish it from un der me to get to you.

Your (Em7)un ex pect ed love pro vides my (Gsus2)sol i tar y’s su i cide.

Oh,

I wish I knew.

The (D)time that I’ve (Em7)tak en

I (D)pray is not (Em7)wast ed.

Have I (D)al read y (Em7)wast ed

my piece of (D)one (Em7)sweet love?

(Em7)Read y and wait ing

for a (Em7)heart worth the break ing.

I’d set tle for an (D)hon est mis (Em7)take in

the name of (D)one (Em7)sweet love.

(D)One (Em7)sweet

(Gsus2)love.
