[Verse 1]
DComing all around us in the Dblue light of the morning
The Dwhole entire world was in your Emeyes
Felt so Empowerless and simple, Emthe rain was on the window
EmSliding down and dripping all Dinside
[Verse 2]
So I Dwalked down by the water, saw the Dpulsing mass was shining
DListened to the things out in the Emnight
Threw my Emdollars on the fire, cEmrawled out through the wire
Hoping we'd eventually Dcollide
[Chorus]
GHold my head to the F#mskin I said, when my Emheart wasn't always Dthere
As you Gturn down the light in the F#mlong black night, Empeel back the moon, Dbeware!
[Instrumental Break]
F#m Em D
F#m Em D
[Verse 3]
Through the Ddarkness I kept moving, down the stDreets and through the alleys
DHiding in the doorways from the Emcold
And Emeverything was pretty, Emstealing through the city
AEmlways somewhere better left to Dgo
[Verse 4]
So I Dclimbed up on the mountain and the Dclouds were all around me
I Dstumbled on, I could not see the Emlight
Always Emrunning from the slaughter, Emtrembling through the water
EmTrying to find away back down Dinside
[Chorus]
GHold my head to the F#mskin I said, when my Emheart wasn't always Dthere
As you Gturn down the light in the F#mlong black night, Empeel back the moon, Dbeware!
[Instrumental Break]
F#m Em D
F#m Em D
[Verse 5]
In the Dshadows I was walking, I was Dhidden from the morning
DEverything just seemed to fade Emaway
I was Emliving in a movie, you Emnever even knew me
The Empeople looked right through me Deveryday
[Verse 6]
It was Dcoming all around us in the Dblue light of the morning
The Dwhole entire world was in your Emeyes
Felt so Empowerless and simple, Emthe rain was on the window
EmSliding down and dripping all Dinside
