_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _
I've been blind, _ _ _ she's been [C] kind She knows the times I [G] forget to see _
Through a cold, dark cloud _ Imaginary shroud, [C] shadows [Em] that settle [G] over me _ _
[Em] I was her smile way back at the [G] start [Em] I offered her my body [C] and my soul
Thought [D] _ in my heart [Em] it would tear me apart But it made me [G] whole _
Keep _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _
it simple, keep it clear That's what we like to hear
She [C] don't argue, she won't [G] ever lie If I say so, it's so
She don't wanna know if [C] it's a metaphor [Em] Or something [G] in disguise
She [Em] let me know a long [G] time ago [Em] It's better to say just [C] what I mean _
[G] _ Truths you tell, it can hurt like hell [C] But it keeps [Em] me [G] _ clean _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
When I get stuck, _ I don't stray far [C] I keep her in my mind, [G] in my eye
I've been lost before, _ never anymore [C] I just look up at my compass [G] in the sky
I [Em] had my fears _ back in the early [G] years [Em] That locked me up and thrown [C] away the key
[Em] _ _
[G] _ Lost my mind to the ties that bind [C] But they set [Em] me [G] free _ _

[C] _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _
Yeah, she's fast, I know I'll never last [C] She's by me now, [G] but I don't really mind
I ought to know, _ [G] I move so slow [C] My shadow often kicks me [G] from behind
But [Em] I once was fast in the distant past In a mighty demonstration [C] of my will _ _
[G] I kissed her [Em] twice at the speed of light _
[C] Time [Em] stood [G] still
_ I kissed her twice _ [Em] at the speed of light _
[C] Time stood [G] still _ _ _
