Intro: C 

F                  C 
Before it took you away 

Am               F   C 
I tried to think of something I could say 

              F              C 
I watched the shadows in the hall 

          Am             F             C 
How they danced with the light and the white on the walls 


Your face in these pictures looks like a poem 
Your eyes lit up like a river stone 
Your body so much like a blanket thrown 

Am                      F                      Fmaj7 
On a warm bed at night, like a house in a storm 


C 


         F                      C 
Then you walk right through the doorway  

    Am             F       C 
You tell me you're here to stay 

    F                    C 
The worst is gone and by God I love  

   Am         F         C 
If you'd been here this way 


C 


F                 C  
I surprise myself sometimes 

            Am   F               C 
The way the days unfold and this road unwinds 

    F                  C 
You tell me you see it too 

        Am              F           C 
And the miles seem like inches when I think of you 




         C   F        C         F 
Its been 25 day since I've been gone 

C   F          C    F    
25 weeks since I've seen my home 

        C  F      C            F 
I spent 25 months chasing this song 

    Am               F              Fmaj7 
and all of this time I've been alone 



         F                      C 
Then you walk right through the doorway 

    Am      F            C  
You tell me your here to stay 

    F                 C 
The worst is gone and by God I love  

   Am         F         C 
If you'd been here this way 


        Am    F     C 
And you knew it all along 

         Am    F   C 
I wasn't happy all along 

         Am    F    C 
and your body all I wanted 

    Am    F         C 
let me to just come home 


         F                      C 
Then you walk right through the doorway 

    Am      F              C  
You tell me you're here to stay 

    F                 C 
The worst is gone and by God I love  

    Am        F         C 
If you'd been here to stay 


      Am         F             C 
And I only just learned how to stand like a man 
          
         Am  F       C 
I've got 25 years of running instead 

Am          F       C 
How could I see the ground at my feet 

    Am          C             F 
The truth is to me that I was caught in the storm 

C 
That I wasn't alone
