              (Intro) D  G  Am   (4x) 
        D Am D G  (4x) 
 
         D          Am                   G     D G Am 
We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning 
D 
We said our lines 
         Am 
Then kissed 
             G    D G Am 
And it was over 
          Bm                    G 
Those pronouncements had such weight 
              Am            G 
I guess they made us hesitate 
       D   Am D Am 
Hesitate 
D 
When she moved her hips 
      Am             G       D G Am 
And swayed in my direction 
                     D 
I thought we could make it yet 
     Am             G    D G Am 
And beat the isolation 
Bm                   G 
But in that gentle dark 
         Am              G 
Man, we tore ourselves apart 
              D        G 
Through the fire and rain 
               D             G 
Through the wilderness and pain 
               D                 Am 
Through the losses, through the gains 
             D             G 
On love's roller coaster train 
               D  Am D G 
I call your name 
           Am           G     D G Am 
Oh God ... we used to laugh 
         D          Am 
Is the fire dying, baby 
             G    D G Am 
It hurts to ask 
        Bm             G 
Let my hold you for awhile
