I thought you were the wind
[F] [C]
Rattlin through this house again
[C] [F] [C] [C/B]
I thought you were the moon
[Am] [G] [C]
Lightin up these empty rooms
[C] [F] [C]
I thought you were the sun
[F] [C]
Shining down on everyone but me
[C] [F] [C] [C/B]
I thought you were the night
[Am] [G] [C]
And thats as close as I came to being right
[F] [C]
[C] [F] [C]
I saw you on the ground
[F] [C]
Every time that I fell down
[C] [F] [C] [C/B]
I saw you in the sky
[Am] [G] [C]
Reaching out as I flew by
[C] [F] [C]
I heard you on the sea
[F] [C]
Always calling out to me
[C] [F] [C] [C/B]
I saw you in the northern lights
[Am] [G] [C]
And thats as close as I came to being right
[F] [C] [G] [F]
I didnt know it could grow so dark
[F] [C] [G] [F]
I didnt know it could break my heart
[F] [C] [G] [F] [F/B]
I thought it to better not to put up a fight
[Am] [G] [C]
And thats as close as I came to being right
SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS
[C] [F] [C]
I thought you were the wind
[F] [C]
Blowin through my home again
[C] [F] [C] [C/B]
I thought you were the moon
[Am] [G] [C]
Now nothin lights these empty rooms
[C] [F] [C]
I thought you were the sun
[F] [C]
Spreading warmth on everyone but me
[C] [F] [C] [C/B]
I thought you were the night
[Am] [G] [C] [C/B]
And thats as close as I came to being right
[Am] [G] [F] [F/B]
Thats as close as I came to being right
