[Verse]
Am G F
I can't see my way when
Am G F
shame is covering my eyes.
Am G F
Carry a flame for me that I might make it;
Am G F
Faltering forward as the time.
[Instrumental]
Am G Am G G F
[Verse]
Am G F
I can leave no traces
Am G F
Or I can move the stars in space;
Am G F
But I can say nothing for the weight of the action
Am G F
that lies like scars upon my face.
[Chorus]
G F G F
But I will say for you anything you need to hear ...
G Am
I mean it
G Am
I mean it;
G F
Take the longing from these
G Am
restless eyes
G Am G F
And keep it for as long as you need it.
G Am
I mean it;
G F
Take the longing from me.
[Instrumental]
Am G F
Am G F
[Verse]
Am G F
I won't see you changing
Am G F
should you remember me somehow.
Am G F
What in the world would make me feel that way
Am G F
When nothing on earth would make me now?
[Instrumental]
Am G Am G G F
[Verse]
Am G F
All I ever wanted
Am G F
was something that I have never seen.
Am G F
And all that I ever offered
Am F
was something that I have never been;
[Chorus]
G F G F
But I will play for you any part you need, my love ...
G Am
I mean it;
G F
Take the longing from these
G Am
restless eyes
G Am
And keep it for as
G F
long as you need.
G Am
I mean it;
G Am
I mean it
G F
Take the longing from me.
[Instrumental]
Am G F x2
[Verse]
Am G F
I can't make things right, baby
Am G F
But you know that I will try.
Am G F
Say that I waited from now till forever;
Am G F
Say that my tongue should never speak;
Am G F
Say that I stayed here and lay down beside you;
Am G F
Say that I buried my mouth in your hair.
[Outro]
Am G Em F G
I can't see my way when shame is covering my eyes.
Carry a flame for me that I might make it;
Faltering forward as the time.
I can leave no traces,
or I can move the stars in space
But I can say nothing for the weight of the action that lies like scars upon my face.
But I will say for you anything you need to hear
I mean it, I mean it - take the longing from these restless eyes
And keep it for as long as you need it.
I mean it, I mean it - take the longing from me.
I won't see you changing should you remember me somehow.
What in the world would make me see you that way when nothing on Earth would make me now?
All I ever wanted was something that I have never seen.
And all that I ever offered was something that I have never been
But I will play for you any part you need, my love
I mean it, I mean it - take the longing from these restless eyes
And keep it for as long as you need.
I mean it, I meant it - take the longing from me.
I can't make things right, baby
But you know that I will try.
Say that I waited from now till forever;
Say that my tongue should never speak;
Say that I stayed here and lay down beside you;
Say that I buried my mouth in your hair.
