recognition was still just a dream.”

CAPO 2ND FRET

I gathered a mountain

an ocean of teardrops

A castle of break ups

To hide myself in

Ive waited a lifetime

For someone to find me

For someone to reach me

Somewhere to begin

Am F C G

Now Im a woman I can tell by the look in your eyes

Am F C G

Were no strangers I can tell by the way tha t you smile

Ive painted the sunsets

The dawnings Ive missed you

The hours Ive kissed you

To keep my heart alive

Its the heat of your breathing

The way you are whispering

The urge of your wanting

I cant leave you behind

Am F C G

Now Im a woman I can tell by the look in your eyes

Am F C G

Were no strangers I can tell by the waves in the night

F D# Bb

You bring a little hope bring a little love

F D# Bb

You bring a little hope bring a little love

F Bb Gm C

Solo:

Dm Bb F C

Now Im a woman I can tell by the look in your eyes

Dm Bb F C

Were no strangers I can tell by the waves in the night

I dont want to own you

I dont want to lead you

I just want to love you

In my own way
