This is the saddest, but in my opinion the most beautiful song on the album.
THIS SONG IS CAPOED AT 2ND FRET.
All chords are named as if the capo was the nut.
Sign ! means strum upwards.
Chords used:
G C C C2 Cadd9 D Dsus2 Dsus4 Em
Intro:
[G] [D] [Dsus4]
[G] [Cadd9]
[G] [D] [Dsus4]
[G] [Cadd9]
Verse:
G D Dsus4 C C Cadd9
Who knew love would come walkin' through my door
Turn the l[C]ight on s[C]omewhere d[D]own [G] inside
G D Dsus4 C C Cadd9
Give me a feeling I'd never had before
It was a l[C]ong wait
it was [C] just [D] the wrong [G] time
Bridge:
!Em C
But I hope you'll hold me now
[Em] somewhere w[C2]ithin
!Em C
And when you think about
[C] what might have b[C]een[D]
Chorus:
[G] Cry [Cadd9] a river
[G] Flood [Cadd9] the sea
[G] Cry a r[D]iver [C2]over [G] me
[G] Take [Cadd9] the bitter
[G] With [Cadd9] the sweet
[G] And cry a r[D]iver [C2]over [G] me
(Repeat intro)
Verse:
G D Dsus4 C C Cadd9
And how do you argue with a feeling in your bones
'bout what [C]is and wh[C]at isn't m[D]eant [G] to be
[G] Some things you l[D]ive with
C C Cadd9
And you never let it show
Like the p[C]ain I felt
The d[C]ay I w[D]atched you [G] leave
Bridge:
!Em C
But I hope you'll think of me
[Em] When tender w[C2]inds blow
!Em C
Sit on the shores of love
[C] And just let it g[C]o[D]
(Repeat Chorus)
