C F
So today I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
C F
And I know it's hard to make it through
C
When you say there's something wrong
C
C F
So I'm trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
C F
All this trying has made me tired
C
And I don't know even where to start
C
C
Maybe that's a start
C
C F
For you know it's a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
C F
And you know you've been hiding from your pain
C
In the way, in the way you say your name
C
C
And I see you
F Dm Am
Hiding your face in your hands
F Dm Am
Flying so you won't land
F Dm Am
You think no one understands
Am F
No one understands
C F
So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
And your throat is aching but you swear
C F
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
C
Anyway you're not here enough to care
C F
And you're so tired you don't sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
C F
You keep it quiet but you think you might
C
Disappear before the end
C F
And it's strange how you cannot find
Any strength to even try
C F
To find a voice to speak your mind
C
When you do, all you wanna do is cry
C
C
Maybe you should cry
C
C
And I see you
F Dm Am
Hiding your face in your hands
F Dm Am
Talking 'bout far-away lands
F Dm Am
You think no one understands
Am F
Listen to my hands
F C
And all of this life
F C
Moves around you
F Am
For all that you claim
Am F Dm
You're standing still
C F
You are moving too
C F
You are moving too
C F
You are moving too
C
I will move with you
