Possession
from the album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
released in 1993
Sarah McLachlan (original version) capo the 2nd
Evans Blue (cover version) capo the 4th
standard tuning
Am                      G      D
Listen as the wind blows, from across the great divide
        Am                 G            D
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
Am                    G         D
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
F                  Am            D
would I spend forever here, and not be satisfied?
  F         Em      Am
And I would be the one
              C
to hold you down
           F
kiss you so hard
     F          Em      F
I'll take your breath away,
          Am
and after I'd
      C
wipe away the tears,
     F           G       Am
just close your eyes dear
Am     G    D
  Am                           G       D
Through this word I've stumbled,  so many times betrayed
            Am              G             D
trying to find an honest word to find the truth enslaved,
    Am                    G         D
you speak to me in riddles , you speak to me in rhymes
      F            Am                        D
my body aches to breathe your breath,  your words keep me alive
F         Em     Am
And I would be the one
            C
to hold you down
          F
kiss you so hard
  F            Em      F
I'll take your breath away,
          Am
and after I'd
      C
wipe away the tears
      F        G       Am
just close your eyes dear.
Am  G    D
           x3
Am                    G          D
Into this night I wander,  it's morning that I dread
Am               G                D
another day of knowing of  the path I fear to tread
     Am                 G                  D
ohhh -into the sea of waking dreams,  I follow without pride
 F                   Am             D
nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied.
  F         Em      Am
And I would be the one
             C
to hold you down
         F
kiss you so hard
F      Em      F
I'll take your breath away,
          Am
and after I'd
       C
wipe away the tears
    F           G       F
just close your eyes dear
             Am
I'll hold you down
           C
kiss you so hard
     F          Em      F
I'll take your breath away,
         Am
and after I'd
           C
wipe away the tears
      Am        Em
just close your eyes.
