Capo 1 

Intro: G D Em C (2x) 


[Refrão]

                G                      D 
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain 
          Em                      C 
Turn you to sand as the time slips away 
               G                     D 
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth 
            Em                     C 
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward 


Verse 1:
 
G                D 
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say 
Em                              C 
    It's never easy, then it hurts 
G                         D 
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you 
Em                                 C  
    But we're both moving in reverse 

Pre-Chorus: 

G                                  D 
 I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by 
Em                                      C 
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine 

Chorus 

Verse 2: 
 
Some nights you're a photograph fading in my memory 
Some days I feel you on my skin 
We're trading silence 
There are words that seem to steal our breath 
And I just dream about your lips 

Pre-Chorus 

Chorus 

Chorus 2: 
                   G 
We'd count the stars 
                     D 
My hands in your leaves 
                    Em                        C 
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep 
                 G                    D 
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain, 
              Em                      C 
Turn you to sand as the time slips away 

Bridge: 

G 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for… 
D 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for… 
Em                                         C 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you 

G 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for… 
D 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for… 
Em                                         C 
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you  

Chorus 

Outro: 
                 G                     D 
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain, 
               Em                    C 
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
