Intro: 
C   Fmaj7  C   Fmaj7 
 
Verse: 
C        Fmaj7  
So this is how the story went 
Am        G 
I met someone by accident 
F        C 
who blew me away 
Am        G 
who blew me away 
 
C            Em 
It was in the darkest of my days 
Am            G         
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain 
F            C 
And barried them away 
Am            G 
you barried them away 
 
 
Dm            G 
And I wish I could lay down beside you 
C            Am 
When the day is done 
Dm            G          Am   A5  Am         
And wake up to your face against the morning sun 
Dm            G 
But like everything I've ever known 
C            Am 
you'll disappear one day 
Dm                G        C  Fmaj7   C Fmaj7 
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away 
 
 
Verse2: 
C        Fmaj7  
I dropped you off at the train station 
Am        G 
And put a kiss on top of your head 
F        C 
I watched you wave 
Am        G 
I watched you wave 
 
C            Em 
Then I went on home to my skyscrapers 
Am            G 
Neon lights and waiting papers 
F            C 
That I call home 
Am            G 
I call it home 
 
 
Dm            G 
And I wish I could lay down beside you 
C            Am 
When the day is done 
Dm            G          Am   A5  Am         
And wake up to your face against the morning sun 
Dm            G 
But like everything I've ever known 
C            Am 
you'll disappear one day 
Dm                G        C  Fmaj7   C Fmaj7 
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away 
 
 
Verse3: 
C        Fmaj7  
I woke up feeling heavy hearted 
Am        G 
I'm going back to where I started 
F        C 
The morning rain 
Am        G 
The morning rain 
 
 
C            Em 
And you know I wish that you were here 
Am            G     
But that same old road that brought me here 
F            C 
Is calling me home 
Am            G 
Is calling me home 
 
 
Dm            G 
And I wish I could lay down beside you 
C            Am 
When the day is done 
Dm            G          Am   A5  Am     
And wake up to your face against the morning sun 
Dm            G 
But like everything I've ever known 
C            Am 
You'll disappear someday 
Dm                G        C 
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away 
Dm                G        C9   C 
And I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away
