Verso 1:
E A9
No one would love me
E A9
If they knew all the things I hide
Verso 2:
My words fall to the floor
As tears drip through the telephone line
Pré-Refrão:
B9 A9
And the hands I've seen raised to the sky
B9 A9
Not waving but drowning all this time
B9 A9
I'll try to build the ark that they need
E A9
To float to you upon the crystal sea
[Refrão]
E A9
Give me your hand to hold
E A9
'Cause I can't stand to love alone
E A9 E
And love alone is not enough to hold us up
A B9 A
We've got to touch your robe
So swing your robe down low
Swing your robe down low
Verso 2:
The prince of despair's been beaten
But the loser still fights
Death's on a long leash
Stealing my friends to the night
Pré-Refrão:
And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty, too
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof
[Refrão]
And the pain of the world is a burden and it's my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you're Simon standing there
And I know you're standing there
