Em           C 
I I sit by my window 
   D          Em 
With everything I've done 
Em           C 
Doors that I've opened 
  D        Em 
And webs that I've spun 
  
     Em     C 
And the candle beside me 
   D         Em 
it burns to the left 
     Em        C 
and the rain on the clay 
     D           Em 
sends the lizard to it's nest 
  
    Em       C 
will there be a time 
       D       Em 
when I will hold you again? 
     Em      C 
With my arms spread out 
 D        Em 
My chest you'll rest 
  
      Em         C 
And I'll write you a letter 
   D        Em 
With everything I know 
       Em        C 
'bout the weight of the world 
     D          Em 
And the way things could go 
  
      Em   C 
So live up my friend 
   D    Em 
Step back again 
  Em            C 
For some things will be given 
  D             Em 
For some you'll have to bend 
           Em     C 
You' ll have to bend my friend 
     D    Em 
To hold on to this 
  Em             C 
For some things will come easy 
  D        Em 
And some will be a test 
          Em     C D Em 
You'll have to bend 
  
    Em         C 
Now the ocean connects me 
  D        Em 
To everything I know 
   Em       C 
I'm mellowing my mind 
   D         Em 
So my heart, it can call 
  
       Em       C 
With these trees as my witness 
     D          Em 
I'll slice up some fruit 
  Em        C 
And each to their peaceful 
   D         Em 
good intentions and truth 
  
      Em         C 
There will be a time 
     D          Em 
when I'll hold you again 
     Em      C 
With my arms spread out 
      D        Em 
I will dive right in 
  
    Em        C 
So now here is your letter 
   D        Em
