This is as close as I could come with my limited chord knowledge; if it isn't accurate
it works pretty well! Questions, or hopefully corrections are welcome.
C
In the calling out to one another
Am
Of the lovers up and down the strand
Dm
In the sound of the waves and the cries
G
Of the seagulls circling the sand
C
In the fragments of the songs
Am
Carried down the wind from some radio
Dm
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
G
Ominous and low
C Am
I hear the sound of a world where we played
Dm G
And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made
Am F
If you ever need holding
C G
Call my name, I'll be there
Am F
If you ever need holding
C G
And no holding back, I'll see you through
C Am
Sky blue and black
Dm G
//music w/o lyrics//
C
Where the touch of the lover ends
Am
And the soul of the friend begins
Dm
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
G
And a struggle neither wins
C
Where you gave me the world I was in
Am
And a place I could make a stand
Dm
(And) I could never see how you doubted me
G
When I'd let go of your hand
C Am
Yeah, and I was much younger then
Dm
And I must have thought that I'd have known
G
If things were going to end
Am F
And the heavens were rolling
C G
Like a wheel on a track
Am F
And our sky was unfolding
C G
And it'll never fold back
C Am
Sky blue and black
Dm G
//music w/o lyrics//
Am
I'd have fought the world for you
F
(I'd have fought the world for you)
C G
If I thought that you wanted me to
Am G
Or put aside what was true or untrue
C
If I'd known that's what you needed
G
What you needed me to do
C Am
But the moment has passed by me now
Dm
To have put away my pride
G
And just come through for you somehow
Am F
If you ever need holding
C G
Call my name, I'll be there
Am F
If you ever need holding
C G
And no holding back, I'll see you through
C
You're the color of the sky
Am
Reflected in each store-front window pane
Dm
You're the whispering and the sighing
G
Of my tires in the rain
C Am
You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do
Dm G C
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
Am
//music w/o lyrics//
Dm
In the sunlight and the shadows
G
And the faces on the avenue
C
That's the way love is
Am
That's the way love is
Dm
That's the way love is
G C
Sky blue and black
