C5
In the calling out to one another
G5
Of the lovers up and down the strand
D5
In the sound of the waves and the cries
G5
Of the seagulls circling the sand
C5
In the fragments of the songs
G5
Carried down the wind from some radio
D5
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
G5
Ominous and low
C5 G5
I hear the sound of a world where we played
D5 G5
And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made
A5 F5
If you ever need holding
C5 G5
Call my name, I'll be there
A5 F5
If you ever need holding
C5 G5
And no holding back, I'll see you through
C5 G5
Sky blue and black
D5 G5
C5
Where the touch of the lover ends
G5
And the soul of the friend begins
D5
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
G5
And a struggle neither wins
C5
Where you gave me the world I was in
G5
And a place I could make a stand
D5
(And) I could never see how you doubted me
G5
When I'd let go of your hand
C5 G5
Yeah, and I was much younger then
D5
And I must have thought that I'd have known
G5
If things were going to end
A5 F5
And the heavens were rolling
C5 G5
Like a wheel on a track
A5 F5
And our sky was unfolding
C5 G5
And it'll never fold back
C5 G5
Sky blue and black
D5 G5
A5
I'd have fought the world for you
F5
(I'd have fought the world for you)
C5 G5
If I thought that you wanted me to
A5 G5
Or put aside what was true or untrue
C5
If I'd known that's what you needed
G5
What you needed me to do
C5 G5
But the moment has passed by me now
D5
To have put away my pride
G5
And just come through for you somehow
A5 F5
If you ever need holding
C5 G5
Call my name, I'll be there
A5 F5
If you ever need holding
C5 G5
And no holding back, I'll see you through
C5
You're the color of the sky
G5
Reflected in each store-front window pane
D5
You're the whispering and the sighing
G5
Of my tires in the rain
C5 G5
You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do
D5 G5 C5
Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
G5 D5 G5
C5
In the sunlight and the shadows
G5
And the faces on the avenue
D5 G5
C5
That's the way love is
G5
That's the way love is
D5
That's the way love is
G5 C5
Sky blue and black
