Intro:
[C]
[F]Before it took you [C]away
[Am]I tried to think [F]of s[C]omething I could say
I watched the [F]shadows in the [C]hall
How they d[Am]anced with the [F]light and the [C]white on the walls
Your face in these pictures looks like a poem
Your eyes lit up like a river stone
Your body so much like a blanket thrown
[Am]On a warm bed at night, [F]like a house in a storm[Fmaj7]
[C]
Then you [F]walk right through the [C]doorway
You [Am]tell me you're [F]here to [C]stay
The [F]worst is gone and by [C]God I love
If [Am]you'd been [F]here this [C]way
[C]
[F]I surprise myself [C]sometimes
The way the [Am]days [F]unfold and this [C]road unwinds
You [F]tell me you see it [C]too
And the [Am]miles seem like [F]inches when [C]I think of you
Its been [C]25 d[F]ay since [C]I've been [F]gone
[C]25 w[F]eeks since [C]I've [F]seen my home
I spent [C]25 [F]months [C]chasing this [F]song
and [Am]all of this time [F]I've been alone[Fmaj7]
Then you [F]walk right through the [C]doorway
You [Am]tell me [F]your here to [C]stay
The [F]worst is gone and [C]by God I love
If [Am]you'd been [F]here this [C]way
And you [Am]knew i[F]t all [C]along
I wasn't [Am]happy [F]all [C]along
and your [Am]body a[F]ll I [C]wanted
let [Am]me to [F]just come [C]home
Then you [F]walk right through the [C]doorway
You [Am]tell me [F]you're here to [C]stay
The [F]worst is gone and [C]by God I love
If y[Am]ou'd been [F]here to st[C]ay
And I [Am]only just l[F]earned how to [C]stand like a man
I've got [Am]25 y[F]ears of [C]running instead
[Am]How could I [F]see the [C]ground at my feet
The [Am]truth is to [C]me that I was [F]caught in the storm
[C]That I wasn't alone
