Intro: C Am (2x)
C Am
Lying in a puddle of my own remorse when
C Am
A voice came through the heavens: (Get back on that horse.)
Dm G
'Cuz love comes easy at first, unknown, then
Dm G C Am C Am
To learn to tumble when you get thrown, oh yeah!
C Am
You opened up the doors to your protected heart and
C Am
let a total stranger pick it all apart
Dm G
But patience in the extreme with love
Dm G C Am
Will bring you what you've been dreaming of, yeah!
Am D
'Cuz black clouds only conceal the sun,
Am D G Em G
And just like that you're the only one.
C Am
No we're skipping through the fire like a summer rain,
C Am
Shielded by the aura of our shared remains.
Dm G
I'd much rather die in your arms then
Dm G
live without 'em around me first
C Am
Remember when you found me I was spoken for,
C Am
With tape around my mouth and lying on the floor
Dm G
You propped me up and looked in my eyes
Dm G C Am
And I saw freedom and fireflies, oh yeah!
Am D
All the weight was lifted, all my strength returned,
Am D G Em G
The flies land on me but I'm not burned.
G D
Butterflies sleeping in a hurricane,
D G
Peace is in your eyes while you're giving birth.
G D
Waiting in the station for the mystery train,
D G
To come and put a smile on the face in the earth.
Am D
I'm sure that's why you were sent to me,
Am D G Em G
That we together could set folks free!
C Am
Now I'm swimming in the ocean that was once my tears,
C Am
A hurricane of joy has swept away my fears,
Dm G
I've built an ark for the purpose of
Dm G
Floods of passion and floods of love
Dm G
You can't stop them and nor can I
Dm G C
Gonna keep on going 'til the day we die.
