Verse 1:
C
As I write this song to you, I know your thoughts are far away

Cadd11
They're riding on a sea of currents, those scary thoughts they hold their sway
C Cadd11

I just want to tell you that right now I feel that way too
And I really bet you're wonderin, well the reason why I'm writin
This silly stupid song, in this silly stupid tuning

I guess it's cause I never seem to say the words I need unless I'm singing
to you


Cadd9, C, C

Chorus:

Cadd11/F
Oh
Am7 Cadd9/G

You know I'd gladly give my coat, when you shiver in the snow
Oh
I just wanna hold your hand, just wanna be your leadin' man

Oh
Darlin' dry your eyes, wish I could hold you when you cry
Oh

I guess it's too late now, I feel I've squandered all my time.

Verse 2:

I remember we first met, I know you know I didn't know ya
And only God knows why I didn't bother to approach ya
I surely would have tried if I knew then what I know now

While all this talk of knowin' is helpin keep the rhythm flowin
I think I should start showin you so you can start a-knowin
Exactly just what knowin' you has done

for me

Chorus





Well now my time is up, it's so in ways much more than one
I feel Old Time, he pulls me onward, as the moon chases the sun
I guess I'll take up this guitar and much like Moses I'll be movin on

Well I hope this song to you has been a pleasure to your ears
And that my singing it to you hasn't made you feel that weird
I pray our paths will cross again, but now my song, well it must end

I guess I'll see ya.

Bridge:

Cmaj9 Am7/C
Girl, you know I smile when you smile
Girl, you know I laugh when you laugh

Girl, you know I hurt when you hurt
Girl you oughta know, you know I die when you cry.
