[Intro]
Bm A D A
[Verse 1]
Bm A D A
Feel it inside my heart and I see you'll be next to me
Bm A D A
Taking it in my stride to be wise, turning water into wine
Bm A D A
Smoking each day away with my mind, Champion Ruby and fire
Bm A D A
Feel it inside my heart and I see you'll be next to me
[Hook]
Em D Bm A
Remember that I am only a man, with a heart that's paper thin
Em D Bm A
I can whisper in your ear and take your hand, walk with you through thick and thin
Em D F#m Em
Sensitive and open is my way, and I'm afraid of what this brings
A D Bm A
So please don't lead me down that road again, I need to keep things clean
[Verse 2]
Bm A D A
Feel it inside my heart and I see you'll be next to me

Taking it in my stride to be wise, as my tears fall in my wine

Smoking each day away with my mind, Champion Ruby and fire
Bm A D A
Feel it inside my heart and I see you'll be next to me
[Hook]

Remember that I am only a man, with a heart that's paper thin
Em D Bm A
I can whisper in your ear and take your hand, walk with you through thick and thin

A D Bm A
So please don't lead me down that road again, I need to keep things clean

[Verse 3]
Bm A D A
So much time we spend searching for a clue
Bm A D A
Waiting for the paint to dry and trying to be the glue
Bm A D A
Drifting down this river of life in a paper thin canoe
Bm A Bm A
Free ... falling into you
Bm A D A
Drifting down this river of life in a paper thin canoe
Bm A Bm A
Free ... falling into you
Bm A Bm A
Free ... falling into you
D
Feel it inside my heart
