Jars of Clay
Key of C
Intro
C Am G Am F
verse 1
Am G F
We wandered off like children in the woods
Am G F
And let the searchers come but never find us
Am G F
We tried to make a life among the trees
Am G F
While your dreams collected planes and cars and cities
Am G F
You slipped away from me while I was sleeping
Am G F
To climb the tallest oak and see the lights
Am G F
Your dissatisfaction gave you questions
Am G F
Do you remember what the city sounded like?
Am G F
Do you remember what the city sounded like?
[Refrão] C G Am
So stay up with me don’t fall asleep
Am G F
Because we only have this moment once in our lives
C G Am
Next time we’ll meet under city lights
Am G F
But we’re here tonight, so let’s make it all it was meant to be
verse 2
Am G F
So I held you but the call was from inside
Am G F
And I knew I couldn’t keep you if I tried
Am G F
But I watched as the distance spread, as the shadows grew
Am G F
And the longings came like wolves to devour you
(Repeat Chorus)
Instrumental
