You took me home

Said leave your coat 
            Am 
‘neath city lights

I didn’t understand you much before

Familiar lands

I didn’t understand you 'til now

            C  F 
Our ancient tent 
             C  F 
Did we depend 
              Am 
To shield the wind 
                   G               C F 
But part of me it wanted to blow away 
 
Chorus
    G           F 
You lie next to me 
    G           F 
You lie next to me 
                       C  F 
Beneath the silver stars 
                       C  F 
Beneath the silver stars

                 C  F 
The natural spring 
                C  F 
Was cleansing me 
          Am 
It set me free 
                        G            C 
And part of me it wanted to wash away
