Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
E#
In the calling out to one another
All the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the E# seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
E#Ominous and low
I hear the sound of a world where we played
And the far too simple beauty of the E#promises we made
If you ever need holding
Call my name, IE#'ll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you tE#hrough
Sky blue and black
//musicE# w/o lyrics//
Repeat intro
Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a E# struggle neither wins
Where you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When I'd E# let go of your hand
Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If E# things were going to end
And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a tE#rack
And our sky was unfolding
And it'll never fold bE#ack
Sky blue and black
//musicE# w/o lyrics//
Repeat intro
I'd have fought the world for you E#
If I thought that you wanted me to E#
Or put aside what was true or untrue E#
If I'd known that's what you neeE#ded, what you needed me to do me to do
But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come E# through for you somehow
If you ever need holding
Call my name, E#I'll be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, I'll see you tE#hrough
You're the colour of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
You're the whispering and the sighing
Of my E# tires in the rain
You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do
Yeah and I'll E#never stop looking for you
//music w/o lyrics//
In the sunlight and the shadows
E#And the faces on the avenue
That's the way love is
E#That's the way love is
That's the way love is
E#Sky blue and black
