went on with him[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]G[/ch]              [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd she never once had shown it[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd she took him off the street[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd she dried his tears of grieving[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nShe listened to his visions[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]               [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nShe believed in his believing[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nHe was the sun burning bright and brittle[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd she was the moon shining back his light a little[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nHe was a shooting star[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nShe was softer and more slowly[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]A[/ch]\r\nHe could not make things possible[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]C[/ch]                              [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nBut she could make them holy, Holy[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nHe was dancing to some music[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nNo one else had ever heard[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]                [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nHe'd speak in unknown languages[/tab]\r\n[tab]              [ch]G[/ch]               [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd she would translate every word[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd when the world was laughing[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAt his castles in the sky[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nShe'd hold him in her body[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]G[/ch]                [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nUntil he once again could
