Intro: C*  C   C/GC*  C  G  
C*                    C
  Back when I used to wander, 
C*                            C  C/G  
  I was always out looking for signs
C*                                                   C  G  
  But they were never there, so I'd pull 'em from the air
C*                   C
  We all believed in something
C*                        C  C/G  
  But like you I can't say why
C*                                                   C   Gsus4  G  
  It's just a whisper in our ear, or a bottle for our fears
  AmHold me to Flight, let Cme shineG  
Come hold me to the Amfloor and Fsay it's CalrightG  
Come hold me 'neath the Amwater's Emskin until I'm Fnew aGgain
C*                      C
  And I said what I was thinking: 
C*                                       C  C/G  
  Now you can't see what's good 'til it's gone
C*                                                         C  G  
  Then there's something to be said for a place to lay your head
C*                  C
  You told me I was simple
C*                                        C  C/G  
  And you injured me with that peace of my mind
C*                                                    C   Gsus4  G  
  And I listened to the creek and it did much more for me
  AmI'll hold you to the Flight, let you CshineG  
I'll hold you against the Amfloor and Fsay it's aClrightG  
'Cause down beneath the Amwater's Emskin where Fwe will Gswim
And there's diamonds on the Amsurface Emthen
And, they'll come Fclean us, we'll both live aGgain
C*                    C
  These days I barely wander,
C*                                C  C/G  
  And I don't need no more of them signs
C*                                                        C  G  
  I'll just breathe in all that air and be happy that it's there
