Capo on 1st
C F C F F
C
Like a turning head
F
Like a second look
C G
Like a burning leaf of an open book
Am
Like a pounding sea
F
Like a messy crime
C G
When your eyes first met with mine
C
Like a broken word
F
Like a tragic smile
C G
Like a thousand steps or a single mile
Am
Like a lonely chance
F
Like a savage glow
C G
When you turned and said hello
Am
I was just about to go
Bb F
There were flowers on the ceiling
Bb
You left me feeling
Like a fading voice
Like a closing door
Like a dozen lies and a dozen more
Like a twisted tongue
Like distant bike
When we broke out into the dark
The stars looked like burning sparks
The lights were warm but chilling
You left me feeling
C Dm
Tired
Bb C
Could not close my eyes
C Dm
On fire
Bb C
But frozen inside
F Bb
To run or to hide
C Dm Bb C
Speechless my words could not melt
C Dm Bb C
Whisper I wanted to shout
F Bb
With out you I felt
Like a fleeting thought
Like a double eight
Like a gentle fear of a warming taste
Like a placid breath
Like a cooling blow
When you stopped and held me close
Inside I nearly froze
Your touch is almost healing
You left me feeling
C Dm
Tired
Bb C
Could not close my eyes
C Dm
On fire
Bb C
But frozen inside
F Bb
To run or to hide
C Dm Bb C
Speechless my words could not melt
C Dm Bb C
Whisper I wanted to shout
F Bb
With out you I felt
C
Like a setting sun
F
Like a last goodbye
C F
Like an incomplete lullaby
C F C F F
