VERSE I
[C]You breathed infinity into my world
[am]And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl
[F]We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and [G]lay there for the nig[C]ht
Then you sa[am]id, wait for me[F] we'll fly the wind
We'll grow[G] old and you'll be stronger without him
[C]but oh now, [am]my world is at your feet. I was [F]lost and I was found,
But I was [G]alive and now I've drown[C]ed
PRE-CHORUS
So now I [am]will be waiting for the [F]world to hear my song
So they can t[am]ell me [F]I was w[G]rong
CHORUS
But they weren't [am]there beneath your stare
And they weren't str[F]ipped 'till they were bare of
Any bindi[C]ngs from the world outside that roo[G]m
And they weren't ta[am]ken by the hand
And led through f[F]ields of naked land
Where any [C]pre-conceived ideas were blown awa[G]y
So I couldn't [am]say [G] no[F]
VERSE II
[C]You sighed and I was lost in you
[am]Weeks could've past for all I knew
[F]You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't [G]say
I wouldn't say no. [C]But they all said, [am]you're too [F]young to even know
Just don't let it [G]grow and you'll be stronger without him
PRE-CHORUS + CHORUS X2
