D A G
First warm day in all these months
D A
All the sunlight made me drunk
G D
Made me feel like I could run
A G
Made me feel like I was young
D A G
So I went out all on my own
D A
I told no one where'd I'd go
G D A
Anyway I did not know I only knew I had to go
G D
Out beyond the iron gate
Bm G A D D A D A
Out there where you said you'd wait
D A G
Gotten used to living here
D A
Call it habit call it fear
G D
Though I had glanced your way for years
A G
Til today I'd never dared
D A G
But it was easy slipping through
D A
Easy as the morning dew
G D
That lingers til the afternoon
A
And rises back into the blue
G D
Out beyond the iron gate
Bm G A D D A D A
Out there where you said you'd wait
SOLO
D A G
There you were right by my side
D A
Reaching down to lift me high
G D
I held on with all my might
A
Held on to a world made right
G D
Out beyond the iron gate
Bm G A D D A D A
Out there where you said you'd wait
D A D A
I heard voices all around Someone lifted off the shroud
G D
I saw my children gather round
A
Now I will tell them what I found
G D
Out beyond the iron gate
Bm G A D D A D A
Out there where you said you'd wait
SOLO
