[Intro]
Am E* F C
F C Em F
[Verse 1]
Am E*
The dimness of the the light
F C
That's coming from your eyes
F C
When you look at me and try
Em F
To paint clouds on the sky
A E*
Rollin' in a storm
F C
Made out of sand
F C
While there's peace in my head
Em F
and my silence in her hands
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Well I held your dream
F C
when I thought I was enough
Am
And I was there
F C
Oh, when times got rough
C E*
In darkness I saw hell
F C
Couldn't you tell?
C E* F
That it was me, it was me, it was me who loved you
[Chorus]
C Am
But I, I've got nothing but love
F
Oh, I've got nothing but love for you
C
But it's driving me mad
E* F
Must be what we had
[Verse 2]
A Em
She's an artist and a thief
F C
Who wants to paint something real
A Em
Like the sun or the moon
F C
And there's nothing she won't steal
A C
So when you finally see
F C
the constellations breathe
A C
On the ceiling of your room
F C
But in the morning they'll leave
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Well I held your hand
F C
when I thought I was enough
Am
And I was there
F C
Oh, when times got rough
C E*
In darkness I saw hell
F C
Babe, couldn't you tell?
C E* F
That it was me, it was me, it was me who loved you
[Chorus]
C Am
But I, I've got nothing but love
F
Oh, I've got nothing but love for you!

But it's driving me mad
