[Verso 1]
B                   G# 
If I could, I would kiss you 
C#m              F# 
The body doesn't lie 
    B                  G# 
I'd hold you like soft water 
          C#m             F# 
Holds the Sun against the sky 

  E             B 
I know that she loves you 
     D#7              G#m   
So I wouldn't dare to try 
C#m                F# 
Hold you like soft water 
          B 
Holds the sky 


[Verso 2]
B               G#7 
I'll turn in my lips 
         C#m           F# 
My heavy hands and say goodbye 
       B                G# 
'Cause I can't hear you moan 
    C#m              F# 
And I can't hear you sigh 

        E               B 
I can't think about the singer 
         D#7               G#m 
With her hand against your thigh 
     C#m             F#  
When all I want's to hold you 
                       B 
Like the Sun holds the sky 

 
[Verso 3]
 B                 G#7 
I see the night has crept through your hair 
   C#m            F# 
To settle in your eyes 
      B            G#7 
And I know until I break it 
         C#m          F# 
The tension will only rise 

   E             B 
So here I will declare it 
     D#7               G#m 
In a low but desperate cry 
        C#m                F# 
I wanna hold you like soft water 
          G#m 
Holds the sky 

        C#m                F# 
I wanna hold you like soft water 
            B  E  B 
Holds the sky
