F Bb F Bb
F Am Bb
Verse:
F Bb
I called you up, you were in bed,
F Bb
could barely make out the words that you said
F Am Bb
But you wanted to see me instead, so I got dressed
F Bb F Bb
and I stepped out into the snow, and walked for a mile or so
F Am Bb
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, in my chest
Interlude -x2-: Dm F Gm Bb
Verse:
F Bb
Well you finally came to the door,
F Bb
and we talked for an hour or more
F Am
Until I asked if you would stay up til four,
Bb
you said that's fine.
F Bb
But you said, "there's something I have to say,
F Bb
and I can't because I'm just so afraid"
F Am Bb
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night
Pre-Chorus:
Dm F Gm Bb
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you
Dm F Gm Bb
Grace tonight will pull us through
Chorus:
F Am
Until the tears have left your eyes
Dm Bb
Until the fear can sleep at night
F Am
Until the demons that you're scared of
Dm Bb
Disappear inside
F Am
Until this scale begins to crack
Dm G
And the weight falls from your back
Dm C F
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight
Interlude: F Bb F Bb
Verse:
F Bb
You slowly lifted your head from your hands
F Bb
You said "I just don't think that you'll understand
F Am
You'll never look at me that way again
Bb
if you knew what I did"
F Bb
And so your tears fell and melted the snow
F Bb
You told me secrets nobody had known
F Am
But I never loved you more, even though
Bb
Now I know what you did
Pre-Chorus:
Dm F Gm Bb
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you
Dm F Gm Bb
Grace tonight will pull us through
Chorus:
F Am
Until the tears have left your eyes
Dm Bb
Until the fears can sleep at night
F Am
Until the demons that you're scared of
Dm Bb
Disappear inside
F Am
Until this scale begins to crack
Dm G
And the weight falls from your back
Dm C
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms...
