Intro G D Am C D Em C G D (2x)
 
VERSE
G
I got this picture here inside my head
D C
Of you one morning early you were still asleep in bed
Am
The dog was snoring as I left to catch a plane
C
And I saw your hair band laying there
D
I took it with me
G
I remember how you looked in love
D
Like angels touched your face
C
There's nothing you couldn't rise above
 
You found my hiding place
Am
You turned me to the sun
C
When you pulled the thread I came undone
D
I heard you say
 
[Refrão]G D Am
Let me in
C D Em C G D
Why don't you let me in
G D Am
I Be-gin
C D Em C G D
Why won't you let me in
 
VERSE
G
Now those memories all hold on to me
D C
Like pages from a book I wasn't meant to see
Am
A rock of ages fall to pieces in my hands
C D
As the ring slips off your finger,(when I)I run to catch it
G
And tonight I'm laying next to you, I hear you breathing
D C
There's so much to say but words are few, farewell to Eden
D Am
Now I'm standing at the gate
C
I'm on the outside and I'm looking in
D
Can you hear me?
 
[Refrão]G D Am
Let me in
C D Em C G D
Why don't you let me in
G D Am
I touch your skin
C D Em C G D
Why won't you let me in
 
BRIDGE
 
Am C G D
I caused the flood but I still let you drown
Am C G D
You're in my blood God knows I won't back down
Am C G D
Without your love the world won't turn around
