Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Your eyes they tie

me down so hard

i'll never learn to put up a guard

so keep my love

my candle bright

learn me hard, oh learn me right

this ain't no sham

i am what i am

though i may speak

some tongue of old

or even spit out some holy word

i have no strength

from which to speak

when you sit me down, and see i'm weak

we will run and scream

you will dance with me

they'll fulfill our dreams

and we'll be free

and we will be who we are

and they'll heal our scars

sadness will be far away

So as we walked

through fields of green

as the fairest sun i'd ever seen

and i was broke

i was on my knees

but you said yes as i said please

this ain't no sham

i am what i am

i leave no ties

for a cynics mind

we will run and scream

you will dance with me

they'll fulfill our dreams

and we'll be free

and we will be who we are

and they'll heal our scars

sadness will be far away

do not let my fickle flesh go to waste

as it keeps my heart and soul in it's place

and i will love with urgency but not with haste
