Verse 1
D#m 
Who will shield the leaves 
                    B      A#m 
from the astounding wind? 
D#m 
Oh how the night's given birth 
                  B 
to a world the sunrise 
            A#m 
will surely slice. 
D#m 
Below this thought I blow 
                         B 
against the cyclone that razes 
           A#m 
souls from city and forest. 
D#m                           B 
For I know she loves my music sometimes, 
  C# 
I want her to be inside. 
 
Chorus
     F#       C#           A#m    B 
Once more she stands still by the door, 
         C#               D#m 
when she smiles I call it home, 
B   C#  F#       C#      A#        B 
    I   know her soul is second to none, 
       C#                 D#m 
let me hold her tight and close 
B       A#m      D#m 
    wherever she goes.

Verse 2
D#m                       B      A#m 
I like her slightly wider lips, 
D#m 
just like the sea sips a ship, 
                           B 
words are swallowed with a kiss, 
             A#m 
so far we've missed. 
D#m 
And there will be a wave 
                      B 
and so the water will carry monsters 
A#m              D#m 
from the ocean's bed. 
                              B 
For I know she loves my music somehow, 
      C# 
she's sounding always loud. 
 
Chorus
     F#       C#       A#m       B 
Once more she stands beneath the clouds, 
       C#                 D#m 
oh the rain will sing out loud. 
C#  F#      C#           A#               B 
And now and always, when love is near the core, 
       C#             D#m 
she'll lead me to the door.

B     A#m 
And I know, 
    G#m            A#m              D#m 
the pressure's overwhelming for her skin, 
  G#m             A#m               D#m 
I wish it was her skin what took me in. 
   G#m            A#m 
As if there was a sky for me, 
F#              A# 
slashing this reality, 
    B              C#               D#m 
and taking all the pieces that I've loved. 
   G#m            A#m 
As if there was a side of it, 
     F#              A# 
that wasn't bliss or tragedy 
  B               C# 
I will follow the trail 
   D#m     B  A#   D#m 
to become     even cold 
B  A#   D#m 
   even cold 
B  A#   D#m   B  A# 
   even cold  -  er
