Feel just like an open book

Exposing myself in this neighbourhood

Through different kinds of hell

C G/B Am (A|--0h2--|)
Lately I've found myself in doubt
C G/B Am (A|--0h2--|)
Asking myself what it's all about

What am I doing here What's this leading to

What's the point of all without you
 
[Refrão]

Bridge:
A#maj7 C
Every now and then in dreams
A#maj7 C
By the river 'neath our tree
A#maj7 C
Leaves in yellow, red and brown

I hear you whisper in my ear

Your love belongs to everyone
 
verse 3:
C G/B Am (A|--0h2--|)
Feel just like an open book
C G/B Am (A|--0h2--|)
A couple of words was all it took
C G/B Am
In front of a bright white canvas
G D/F#
Staring vacantly now free,
(E|--0h2--|) G
Against my will
 
Outro:
F C
A drifting vessel in the storm
F C
Pushed around from shore to shore
Fmaj7 C
I know there's so much left to see
Fmaj7 C
I know I have so much left to give
 
G/B Am
But the memories remain
G D/F#
Yet the scars don't feel the same
F C
Filling pages one by one
Fmaj7 C (strum)
In the warmth of other suns
