[G] [C] [D] [G]
[C] [D] [G]
I listen to the wind girl, [C] as you sleep by my [Am] side
The weather's getting colder, [D] so much harder now to hide
[G]
I confess I'm worried girl, [C] as we fill up our [Am] days
For all the dreams we said [D] we'd live, we watch them slip away
[G]
So I'll hold you like an [C] anchor, I'll hold you in the [Am] night
You're all that I can count on, [D] you own the only light
[G] And I'll hold you like an answer, [C] the only one that's right
[G]
[Am] For when I'm lost in [C] darkness, you [D] own the [G]
only light
[C] [G] You see, I think we know we're losing [C] it, that easy dream is [Am] gone
Like everyone, we fool [D] ourselves and say we're holding on
[G] But I know I can't return again, [C] you never can go [G] home
[Am] Though with you here I still am lost, [D] at least I'm not alone
[G] And I'll hold you like an anchor, [C] I'll hold you in the [Em] night
[Am] You're all that I can count on, [D] you own the only light
[G] And I'll hold you like an answer, [C] the only [Am] one that's [Em] right
[Am] For when I'm lost in [C] darkness, you own [D] the [G] only light
[C] [Bm] [G] [Bm] [C] Oh, don't [Bm] you ever [A] take [E] away your [Em] light
[Bm] [C] Don't you [Bm] ever [A] leave me [E] with your [Em] light
[Bm] [C] Don't you [Bm] ever [Am] take away [Em] your light
[Bm] Or [C] else never [Bm] let there [E] be another night
[A] We've traveled hard to get [D] here, girl, but now our traveling's done
[Bm] And of all the answers I have [E] found, you're the only solid one
[A] And I'm frightened how I need you now, [D] but I can't wall in my [Bm] heart
And with you's how I hope [E] to end, and with you now I [A] start
And I'll hold you like an [D] anchor, I'll [Bm] hold you in the [F#m] night
[Bm] You're all that I can count [E] on, you own the only light
[A] Yes, I'll hold you like an answer, [D]
the only [Bm] one that's [F#m] right
