[Verse 1]
Cmaj7                       Gmaj7
Close your eyes and hold my hand
D7sus4                 D7
That is all my heart demands
Cmaj7                   Gmaj7
Just a touch of who you are
D7sus4             D7
Lonely in a sea of stars
Cmaj7                      Gmaj7
Feel like feelings know me well
D7sus4                D7
With you, I can never tell
Cmaj7                  Gmaj7
I can sense you in the grain of
D7sus4           D7
Every syllable I say

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7               Gmaj7
Meet me in Kentucky Field
D7sus4                       D7
Stitch me in, show me what's real
Cmaj7                      Gmaj7
Feel your fingers trace my hand
D7sus4                        D7
Your touch is safe a place to land
Cmaj7                   Gmaj7
Dress me in your gaze tonight
D7sus4               D7
Colorfully black and white
Cmaj7                 Gmaj7 D7sus4     D7
This is who I am, and who I am is right
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7   D7         G       Em7
I can't dream like this forever
     Am7        D7           G
When we fail to feel what is never spoken
     Cmaj7      D7       G          Em7
From my lungs escape the whitest of smoke
        Am7          D7        G
Because I've finally found the one
Cmaj7      D7       G           Em7
You be the ruse and I'll be the caper
Am7      D7       G
You pirouette and I'll never let you stop
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Cmaj7
Roots above the trees
Gmaj7
My mind is a sea of leaves
D7sus4                              D7
The yellow vein inside the frame of my beliefs
Cmaj7
Your air, the air that I breathe
Gmaj7
The angel dust in the breeze
D7sus4
You're everything I need
D7
The only thing I see
 
[Verse 4]
Cmaj7
You are an item, the fire in the brush
Gmaj7
You give me chills whenever we touch
D7sus4
I am the hunger of age, a page,
D7
Aching to be a chapter
Cmaj7
If you're a soul, I'm your mate
Gmaj7
If you're the past, I am fate
D7sus4
If you've got time, I could stay
D7
If you're alive, I will wait
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7   D7         G       Em7
I can't dream like this forever
     Am7        D7           G
When we fail to feel what is never spoken
     Cmaj7      D7       G          Em7
From my lungs escape the whitest of smoke
        Am7          D7        G
Because I've finally found the one
Cmaj7      D7       G           Em7
You be the ruse and I'll be the caper
Am7      D7       G
You pirouette and I'll never let you stop

[Bridge]
G
Brisk pace, brisk pace
A
I ache to feel an ache
B                               D
The sentry by the padded cell inside my soul is slain
G                            A
Free to act according to the nature in his name
B                               D
The warrior that rests within begins to breathe again
G                      A
Meet me in a raindrop, falling on a rooftop
B                               D
Dance with me until we find the words that we should act on.
G                      A
Meet me in a raindrop, falling on a rooftop
B                               D
Dance with me until we find the words that we should act on.
 
[Chorus]
Cmaj7   D7         G       Em7
I can't dream like this forever
     Am7        D7           G
When we fail to feel what is never spoken
     Cmaj7      D7       G          Em7
From my lungs escape the whitest of smoke
        Am7          D7        G
Because I've finally found the one
Cmaj7      D7       G           Em7
You be the ruse and I'll be the caper
Am7      D7       G
You pirouette and I'll never let you stop
