   CI talk to you as to a frieAmnd
I hope that's what you've come to Cbe

[Intro]

C Am C G F

[Verse 1]

C Am

I talk to you as to a friend

I hope that's what you've come to be

It feels as though we've made amends

F C

Like we found a way eventually

It was you who picked the pieces up

When I was a broken soul

And then glued me back together

F Em E

Returned to me what other stole

[Chorus]

I don't wanna hurt you

I don't wanna make you sway

Like I know I've done before

I will not do it anymore

I've always been a dreamer

I've had my head among the clouds

Now that I'm coming down

Won't you be my solid ground?

[Verse 2]

C Am

I look at you and see a friend

I hope that's what you wanna be

Are we back now where it all began?

Have you finally forgiven me?

C Am

You gathered my dreams in

When they all blew away

And then tricked them back into me

F Em E

You saved me I was almost dead

[Chorus]

I don't wanna hurt you

I don't wanna make you sway

Like I know I've done before

I will not do it anymore

I've always been a dreamer

I've had my head among the clouds

Now that I'm coming down

Won't you be my solid ground?

[Bridge]

I don't wanna hurt you

C G

Like I know I've done before

Em F

I will not do it anymore

[Interlude]

C G Em F

[Chorus]

I don't wanna hurt you

I don't wanna make you sway

Like I know I've done before

I will not do it anymore

I've always been a dreamer

I've had my head among the clouds

Now that I'm coming down

Won't you be my solid ground?

[Outro]
