C#m

[Verse]

C#m A B G#

I saddled up my pony right

C#m A B G#

And rode into the ghostly night

C#m A B G#

It was wide, wide open, wide, wide open

C#m A B G# C#m A B G#

...

[Verse]

C#m A B G#

I left the only home I knew

C#m A B G#

I stayed alive and I found you

C#m A B G#

Now I take you where the water's deep

C#m A B E

And make the air you breathe so sweet

[Bridge]

E F# A B

But is it not enough to be complete? Please?

E F# A B

Let me give you everything you need, please?

[Interlude]

C#m A B G# C#m A B G#

...

[Verse]

C#m A B G#

We found a way, we found a street

C#m A B G#

Directions sweat under the sheets

C#m A B G#

And I let you have it, let you have it

[Verse]

C#m A B G#

But it can be a lonely place

C#m A B G#

Desire comes, desire fades

C#m A B G#

There's a bright one caught your fancy eye

C#m A B E C A E

It's okay so long as you stay mi i i i i i i ine

[Bridge]

E F# A B

And I'm so number one that it's a shame, a shame

E F# A B

That you let other numbers in the game, hey

[Interlude]

C#m A B G# C#m A B G#

...

[Verse]

C#m A B G#

Now I suffer for your hungry eye

C#m A B G#

Oh why must it see more than mine?

E A B G#

It's a light you're after, 'cause light moves faster

[Verse]

C#m A B G#

But when I ride again into the night

C#m A B G#

My torch will shoot flames strong and bright

C#m A B G#

And my absence will remind you of

C#m A B E

How tough it is to be in love

[Bridge]

E F# A B

And it's not what I think it's what you say, hey

E F# A B

And it works great for you to have your way, hey

[Interlude]

C#m A B G# C#m A B G#

...

[Verse]

C#m A B G#

But if the west can be a desperate place

C#m A B G#

You search all day for just a taste

E A B G#

Of the cold, cold water, cold, cold water

[Verse]

C#m A B G#

And if you think i've gone too long

C#m A B G#

Listen the sky will sing this song

C#m A B G#

As it burns up all the memories

C#m A B E

That flow like water out of me
