[Intro 1]
[A][F#m][D][E]

[Verse 1]
[A]I was lost till you[F#m] were found
[D]And I never knew how[Bm] far down
I was [A]falling before I [F#m]reached the bot[Bm]tom[E]
[A]I was cold and you[F#m] were fire
[D]And I never knew how[Bm] the pyre
Could be [A]burning
On the [F#m]edge of the i[Bm]ce f[E]ield

[Pre-chorus 1]
And now the [D]chilly Cali[E]fornia [A]wind
Is [D]blowing down our [E]bodies a[A]gain
And we're [D]sinking [A]deeper and [Bm]deeper
[E]in the [A]chilly California [E]sand
Oh I [D]know [A]you be[Bm]long[E]
in[A]side my aching heart
[F#m]And can't you see my faded [Bm]Levis[E]

[Pre-chorus 2]
bursting apart
[Am]And don't you hear me crying
Oh [C]babe, don't go
[D]And don't you hear me screaming
[E]How was I to know?

[Chorus 1]
[A]I'm in the middle of no [D]where
[E]Near the end of the lin[A]e
But there's a border to [D]somewhere waiting
[E]And there's a tankful of tim[A]e
Oh give me just an[D]other moment
[E]to see the light of the day[A]
And take me to an[D]other land where
[E]I don't have to sta[A]y
[F#m]And I'm gonna need s[E]omebody
to [D]make me feel like [A]you do
[F#m]And I will receive [E]somebody
with [D]open arms, open eyes
[Bm]Open up the sky and let the planet
that I love shine [E]through

[Bridge 1]
[F#m]For crying out loud[E]
You know I [A]love you
[F#m]For crying out loud[E]
You know I [A]love you
[F#m]For crying out loud[E]
You know I [D]love you
[Bm][E]

[Verse 2]
[A]I was damned and you[F#m] were saved
[D]And I never knew how[Bm] enslaved
I was [A]kneeling
in the [F#m]chains of my [D]master[E]
[A]I could laugh but you[F#m] could cry
[D]And I never knew jus[E]t how high
I was [A]flying
Ah, with [F#m]you right ab[D]ove me[E]

[Pre-chorus 3]
And now the [D]chilly Cali[E]fornia [A]wind
Is [D]blowing down our [E]bodies a[A]gain
And we're [D]sinking [Bm]deeper and [E]deeper
in the [A]chilly Cali[F#m]for nia sa[E]nd
Oh I [D]know [Bm]you be[E]long
in[A]side my aching [F#m]heart
And can't you see my [Bm]faded Levis
[E]bursting apart

[Pre-chorus 4]
[Am]And don't you hear me crying
Oh [C]Babe, don't go
[D]And don't you hear me screaming
[E]How was I to kno[E]w?

[Chorus 2]
[A]I'm in the middle of no [D]where
[E]Near the end of the lin[A]e
But there's a border to [D]somewhere waiting
[E]And there's a tankful of tim[A]e
Oh give me just an[D]other moment
[E]to see the light of the day[A]
And take me to an[D]other land where
[E]I don't have to sta[A]y

[Bridge 2]
[F#m]And I'm gonna need s[E]omebody
to [D]make me feel like [A]you do
[F#m]And I will receive [E]somebody
with [D]open arms, open eyes
[Bm]Open up the sky and let the planet
that I love shine [E]through

[Bridge 3]
[F#m]For crying out loud[E]
You know I [A]love you
[F#m]For crying out loud[E]
You know I [A]love you
[F#m]For crying out loud[E]
You know I [A]love you
[F#m]For crying out loud[E]
You know I [D]love you
[Bm][E]

[Verse 3]
For [A]taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
For [Bm]giving me the answers
when I'm asking you why
[D]And my oh my[E]
For that I [A]thank you

[Verse 4]
For [A]taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold
For [Bm]giving me a child when my body is old
[D]And don't you kno[E]w
For that I [A]need you
[E]For

[Verse 5]
[A]coming to my room
when you know I'm alone
For [Bm]finding me a highway
and driving me home
[D]And you gotta kno[E]w
For that I [A]serve you
[E]For

[Verse 6]
[A]pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
For [Bm]revving me up when I'm starting to stall
[D]And all in all[E]
For that I [A]want you

[Verse 7]
For [A]taking and for giving
and for playing the game
For [Bm]praying for my future
in the days that remain
[D]Oh [E]Lord
For that I [A]hold you

[Outro 1]
Ah but most of [F#m]all
For cryin' out [E]loud
For that I [A]love you
Ah but most of [F#m]all
For cryin' out [E]loud
For that I [A]love you
Ah but most of [F#m]all
For cryin' out [E]loud
For that I [A]love you
[F#m]When you're crying out loud[E]
You know I [D]love [E]you[A]
