_ _ _ [Am] _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
When I [C] was young I spoke like a child [Bb] I saw [C] with a [F] child's eyes
[C] And _ [F] _
an open [C] door was to a girl [Bb] _
like the stars [F] are to [C] the sky
It's [Dm] _
[Bb] funny how [Am] the world [Dm] lives up [Bb] to [Am] all your [C] expectations
With [Gm] _
adventures [F] for the stout of heart [Bb] and the [F] lure of the [C] open spaces
_ [F] _
There's two lanes [C] running down this road
[Bb] _
Whichever [C] [F] side you're [C] on _ [F] _
accounts for [Gm] where you want to go
[Bb]
Or [C] what [F] you're running [C] from
_ [Dm] _
[Bb] Back when [Am] darkness _ [Dm] overtook [Gm] me [C] on a [F] blind [Bb] man's curb
[C] _
[Bb] I _ _ [F] relied [C] upon _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] the _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
moon
[Am] And Saint [F] Christopher
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _

_ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] And I've paid my dues [C] cause I have owed them [Bb] But I've paid a [C] price [F]
sometimes
[C] For [F] _ being such [Gm] a stubborn woman [Bb] in such stubborn [C] _ times
[Dm] Now [Bb] I've run [Am] from the arms [Dm] of lovers [Bb] _ [C] I've run from the eyes of friends
[Gm] _ I've run from [F] the hands of [Bb] kindness I've [F] run just [C] because I can
_ _ [F] _
Now I've grown [Gm] and I speak like a woman [Bb] And I see with a [F] woman's eyes
[C] _ [Gm] _ [F]
And an open [Gm] door is to me [C] now [Bb]
Like the saddest [C] of _ [Dm] goodbyes
When [Bb] it's too late [Am] for [Dm] turning back [Gm] I pray [F] for the heart [Bb] and the [C] nerve
[Bb] And _ [C] _ [F] I rely [Gm] upon [C] the moon _ [F] I rely [C] upon the moon
_ [F] I rely [C] upon the moon Saint [F] Christopher
[Gm] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] I rely [C] upon the moon [F] I rely [C] upon the moon
[F] I rely upon [C] the moon Saint [Bb] Christopher
_ _ [F]
To be [Gm] my [F] guide _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
