[Intro]
Em  Cadd9  G  D
Em  Cadd9  G  D

[Verse]
Em          Cadd9
  Don't be fooled by
      G
the whispers of the
   D/F#           Em
 winds from the North
             Cadd9
They'll just leave you
            G
where you lay, broken,
   D/F#          Em
beaten on the floor
        Cadd9        G
My dear baby, these words
              D/F#
 are pouring straight
           Em
 from the Lord
              Cadd9
You've got a diamond,
        G           D/F#
I got gold, do we really
            Em
need much more?
Cadd9  G  D  Em

[Verse]
          Cadd9
Don't be fooled by the
  G                 D/F
voices that we're hearing
            Em
from the town
                 Cadd9
'Cause all that matters in
      G
 the end is that we're
  D/F#           Em
 famous in this house
    Cadd9        G
Open up all the walls,
         D/F#              Em
 let the wind just blow us out
         Cadd9     G
Take us away to a place
            D
where we couldn't live
       Em7 Cadd9 G D
without

[Chorus]
              Em7
Ooh, and just take my
 Cadd9    G       D      Em7
hand and be with me, my dear
      Cadd9     G
We'll stay for good
           Em7   Cadd9  G
Well just promise me a life
         D          Em7
 that's green from leaves
  Cadd9      G
Beneath oak trees
          D
Here, beneath oak
  Em7 Cadd9 G D
trees
Em7 Cadd9 G D

[Verse]
Em          Cadd9        G
  Don't you know of the road
       D/F#        Em
 that never has an end
           Cadd9
Cross over lines, smell the
   G              D/F#
pines from the places
           Em
we have been
          Cadd9
Stand here now and just
  G               D/F#
 know that these words
             Em
 will never change
             Cadd9
And put your palms into
  G           D/F#
 mine so our hearts
               Em7
can beat the same
Cadd9  G D

[Chorus]
              Em7
Ooh, and just take my
 Cadd9    G       D      Em7
 hand and be with me, my dear
      Cadd9     G
We'll stay for good

When we grow old, we'll
       G       Em           Em7
 find love in every single place
               Cadd9
I'll put your flowers in
    G                Am
a pitcher 'cause I can't
        Em7
find a vase
       Cadd9          G
But for now, sit with me
         Am           Em
at the altar of our grace
               Cadd9
The sky looks pretty,
        G
but I swear to you,
         Em
it's jealous of your face
