Lyrics/Chords
-------------
 
Bm
Walk with me, open your sensitive mouth, and talk to me
Hold out your delicate hands, and feel me
Couldn't make any plans, to conceal me
 
Em
Open your sensitive mouth, hold out your delicate hands
 
Bm
With such a sensitive mouth, I'm easy to see through
 
A G Bm
When I come up, when I rush, I rush for you
 
[Following verse/chorus as above]
 
Cry for you, seen the tears, roll down from my eyes for you
Heard my truth, Distorting to lies for you
Watched my love, Becoming a prize for you
 
Seen the tears in my eyes, Heard my truth turn to lies
Seen the tears in my eyes, I'm not proud of what I do
When I come up, When I rush, I rush for you
 
Em
I come up to meet you, Up there somewhere
When I rush to greet you, My soul is bared
 
Bm
Gave more for you, Dropped my crutches
And crawled on the floor for you
Went looking behind every door for you
And because of the things, That I saw for you
 
Em Bm A G Bm
I spiritually grew, when I come up, when I rush, I rush for you
 
A G Bm
when I come up, when I rush, I rush for you
 
[Repeat to fade]
