Capo 2
[Intro]
G C
G C
G C D G
[Verse]
G C
She sits him down in a stiff chair
G C
Rubs his back and strokes his hair
G C
Telling him it's okay to cry
D G
But he just sits and stares
C G
G C
The merciless moon outside
G C
Has nothing now he's come to realise
G C
Only the desolation he feels
D G C G
The cold distance inside
[Chorus]
Low E:-3-2-Em
Em
But you and I now
C G
We can be alright
D Em
Just hold on to what we know is true
Em
You and I now
C G
Though it's cold inside
D
Feel the tide turning
[Verse]
G C
While the priest just sits and weeps
G C
Lamenting the fact that he can see
G C
Darkness and light in so much detail
D G
He has given himself over
C G
G C
Refusing what he knows to be real
G C
He turns away from every meal
G C
Starving himself of goodness
D G C G
He doesn't think he can heal
[Chorus]
Low E:-3-2-Em
Em
But you and I now
C G
We can be alright
D Em
Just hold on to what we know is true
Em
You and I now
C G
Though it's cold inside
D
Feel the tide turning
[Verse]
G C
"What if I lost all I had?"
G C
Said the stranger to his dad
G C
And the witness was confused
D G
He can't tell what is bad
C G
G C
Instead he runs up to the nearest girl
G C
And he comments on her glorious curls
G C
Says, "Darling come with me
D G C G
I'll show you a whole new world"
[Chorus]
Low E:-3-2-Em
Em
But you and I now
C G
We can be alright
D Em
Just hold on to what we know is true
Em
You and I now
C G
Though it's cold inside
D
Feel the tide turning
