ESo today I wrote a song for yoAu 
Cause a day can get so long
AEnd I know it's hard to make it thrAough
When you say there's something wrong E  
E
ESo I'm trying to put it riAght
Cause I want to love you with my heart 
EAll this trying has made me tirAed
And I don't know even where to start E  
E
EMaybe that's a start 
E
EFor you know it's a simple gaAme 
That you play filling up your head with rain 
EAnd you know you've been hiding from your pAain
In the way, in the way you say your name E  
E
EAnd I see you
AHiding your fF#mace in your haC#mnds
AFlying F#mso you won't laC#mnd
AYou think F#mno one undersC#mtands
         C#mNAo one understands 
ESo you hunch your shoulders and you shake your heAad 
And your throat is aching but you swear 
NEo one hurts you, nothing could be Asad  
Anyway you're not here enough to care E  
EAnd you're so tired you don't Asleep at night 
As your heart is trying to mend  
EYou keep it quiet but you think you might A  
Disappear before Ethe end  
EAnd it's strange how you cAannot find 
Any strength to even try 
ETo find a voice to speak your mAind 
When you do, all you wanna do is cryE  
E
EMaybe you should cry
E
EAnd I see you
AHiding your fF#mace in your hC#mands
ATalking 'bout F#mfar-away landC#ms 
AYou thiF#mnk no one underC#mstands 
        C#mLiAsten to my hands 
And alAl of this liEfe 
AMoves around yEou
For Aall that you clC#maim 
C#mYou're sAtanding stF#mill
You are moving too E  A  
You are moving toEo A  
You are moving toEo A  
I will move with yEou

E A

So today I wrote a song for you

Cause a day can get so long

E A

And I know it's hard to make it through

When you say there's something wrong

E A

So I'm trying to put it right

Cause I want to love you with my heart

E A

All this trying has made me tired

And I don't know even where to start

Maybe that's a start

E A

For you know it's a simple game

That you play filling up your head with rain

E A

And you know you've been hiding from your pain

In the way, in the way you say your name

And I see you

A F#m C#m

Hiding your face in your hands

A F#m C#m

Flying so you won't land

A F#m C#m

You think no one understands

C#m A

No one understands

E A

So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head

And your throat is aching but you swear

E A

No one hurts you, nothing could be sad

Anyway you're not here enough to care

E A

And you're so tired you don't sleep at night

As your heart is trying to mend

E A

You keep it quiet but you think you might

Disappear before the end

E A

And it's strange how you cannot find

Any strength to even try

E A

To find a voice to speak your mind

When you do, all you wanna do is cry

Maybe you should cry

And I see you

A F#m C#m

Hiding your face in your hands

A F#m C#m

Talking 'bout far-away lands

A F#m C#m

You think no one understands

C#m A

Listen to my hands

A E

And all of this life

A E

Moves around you

A C#m

For all that you claim

C#m A F#m

You're standing still

E A

You are moving too

E A

You are moving too

E A

You are moving too

I will move with you
