G Em C D G

Intro:

G Em

My skin is cracked and dry

C D G

It aches with loneliness

And I feel a thousand miles

C D G

Away from any movement

Em C

The winds have died the waters still

Em D C

And arms are reaching out for someone else

Em D C

And people live and laugh and sing and rush around

Em D C G Em C D G

Oh but none of it makes a sound, No

If I am wrapped in someone’s arms

C D G

It only heals so much

It’s like sitting in the freshest air

C D G

Oh but you need it in your lungs

Em D

And gravity the atmosphere

Em D C

It separates these flesh and bones from you

Em D

We mingle in a strange romance

C D Em D C

This tension builds; I lift my hands to hold your face in-between them

Em D C

Oh but I guess I just imagine it

Em D C

Oh I will just imagine it

Em D C

Oh come lord Jesus soon
