|G |Em |Am |D

1. I was lost till you were found but I never knew how far down
|G |Em |C |D
I was falling, before I reached the bottom.
I was cold and you were fire and I never knew how the pyre
could be burning on the edge of the ice field.

|C D |G |C D |G

Pre Ch And the now chilly California wind, is blowing down our bodies again.
|Am Em |Am |G |D
And were sinking deeper and deeper into the chilly California sand.
|C |Am |Em |G
Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart
|Em |Am |D |Am
and can't you see my faded Levi’s bursting apart?
|Gm |Gm |Bb |Bb
And don't you hear me crying; Oh babe, don't go?
|C |C |D |D
And don't you hear me screaming; How was I to know?

 

|G |C |D |G

Mid. I'm in the middle of nowhere, near the end of the line
|G |C |D |G
but there's a border to somewhere waiting and there's a tankful of time.
|G |C |D |G
Oh, give me just another moment, to see the light of the day,
|G |C |D |G
and take me to another land where, I don't have to stay.

 

|Em |D |C |G

Chorus And I'm going to need somebody to make me feel like you do.
|Em |D |C |C
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,
|Am |Am |D |D
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through
|Em |D |G |G
For crying out loud, you know I love you
|Em |D |G |G
For crying out loud, you know I love you
|Em |D |C |G |Em |Am |G |D
For crying out loud, you know I love you.

 

2. I was damned and you were saved, and I never knew how enslaved,
I was kneeling in the chains of my master.
I could laugh but you could cry and I never knew just how high
I was flying, ah, with you right above me.

 

Pre Chorus

 

Mid.

 

Chorus

 

|G |G

End. For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry,
|Am |Am
for giving me the answers when I'm asking you why,
|C |D |G |G
and my oh my, for that I thank you
For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold,
for giving me a child when my body is old,
and don't you know, for that I need you?
For coming to my room when you know I'm alone,
for finding me a highway and driving me home,
and you got to know, for that I serve you?
For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall,
for revving me up when I'm starting to stall,
and all in all, for that I want you.
For taking and for giving and for playing the game,
For praying for my future in the days that remain,
Oh, lord, for that I hold you.
|Em |D |G |G
Ah, but most of all; For crying out loud, for that I love you.
|Em |D |G |G
Who, but most of all, for crying out loud, for that I love you.
|Em |D |G |G |Em |G |Em
Who, but most of all, for crying out loud, for that I love you.
|Em |D |C |G
When you're crying out loud, you know I love you.
