[F]I had a [Bb]place in the d[Eb]esert[Bb]
[F]Just a [Bb]roof and four [Eb]walls[Bb]
[F]Where I could [Bb]wait for the r[Eb]aptu[Bb]re
[F]Where I could [Bb]ride out the f[Eb]all[Bb]
[F]I was [Bb]keeping a [Eb]virg[Bb]il
[F]I was [Bb]deep in a [Eb]tran[Bb]ce
[F]I was [Bb]holding a [Eb]cand[Bb]le
[F]To the [Bb]palm of my [Eb]hand[Bb]
Then I saw you [Eb]smi[Bb]lin[F]g then I saw you [Eb]smi[Bb]ling[F]
Then I saw you [Eb]smi[Bb]lin[F]g[Gm][Gm9][Gm][Cm]
[F]Like a [Bb]fool I pr[Eb]otes[Bb]ted
[F]I need t[Bb]ime to [Eb]prep[Bb]are
[F]You see I [Bb]never ex[Eb]pecte[Bb]d
[F]Something so [Bb]simple and [Eb]clea[Bb]r
[F]So I [Bb]tried to p[Eb]ersude [Bb]you
[F]That I was [Bb]not what you [Eb]thou[Bb]ght
[F]That I would only disa[Bb]ppoint [Eb]you[Bb]
[F]That I can't [Bb]be what I'm[Eb] not[Bb]
You stood there [Eb]smi[Bb]ling[F]
You stood there s[Eb]mil[Bb]ing[F]
You stood there [Eb]smi[Bb]ling[F] [Gm] [Gm9][Gm][Cm]
[F]I looked a[Bb]round for a [Eb]refer[Bb]ence
[F]But there was [Bb]none I could s[Eb]ee[Bb]
[F]Is there a [Bb]thread to the [Eb]seq[Bb]uence
[F]That brought this [Bb]vision to [Eb]me[Bb]
[F]There are [Bb]larks in the[Eb] mo[Bb]rning
[F]Tracing [Bb]lines to the [Eb]lake[Bb]
[F]Three d[Bb]imensions of m[Eb]ercy[Bb]
[F]Three d[Bb]imensions of [Eb]gra[Bb]ce
You just stand there [Eb]smil[Bb]ing[F]
You just stand there [Eb]smil[Bb]ing[F]
You just stand there [Eb]smil[Bb]ing[F]
