A
In the calling out to one another
F#m
All the lovers up and down the strand
D
In the sound of the waves and the cries
E
Of the seagulls circling the sand
A
In the fragments of the songs
F#m
Carried down the wind from some radio
D
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
E
Ominous and low
A F#m
I hear the sound of a world where we played
D E
And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made
F#m D
If you ever need holding
A E
Call my name, I'll be there
F#m D
If you ever need holding
A E
And no holding back, I'll see you through
A F#m
Sky blue and black
D E

Repeat intro
A
Where the touch of the lover ends
F#m
And the soul of the friend begins
D
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
E
And a struggle neither wins
A
Where you gave me the world I was in
F#m
And a place I could make a stand
D
I could never see how you doubted me
E
When I'd let go of your hand
A F#m
Yeah, and I was much younger then
D
And I must have thought that I would know
E
If things were going to end
F#m D
And the heavens were rolling
A E
Like a wheel on a track
F#m D
And our sky was unfolding
A E
And it'll never fold back
A F#m
Sky blue and black
D E
