For Crying Out Loud

[G] [Em] [Am] [D] [G]

[G]I was lost till [Em]you were found
[Am]But I never knew [D]how far down
I was [G]falling,
before I [Em]reached the [C]bottom [D]

[G]I was cold and [Em]you were fire
[Am]And I never knew [D]how the pyre
Could be [G]burning,
on the [Em]edge of the [C]ice field [D]

And the now [C]chilly Cali[D]fornia [G]wind,
is [C]blowing down our [D]bodies a[G]gain
And were [Am]sinking [Em]deeper and [Am]deeper into the [G]chilly California [D]sand
Oh, I [C]know you be[Am]long in[Em]side my aching [G]heart
And [Em]can t you see my [Am]faded Levis [D]bursting a[Am]part?
And [Em]don t you hear me crying;
Oh [G]babe, don t go?
[Am]And don t you hear me screaming;
[D]How was I to know?

[G]I m in the middle of [C]nowhere,
[D]near the end of the [G]line
But there s a border to [C]somewhere waiting,
[D]and there s a tankful of [G]time
Oh, give me just a[C]nother moment, [D]to see the light of the [G]day,
and take me to a[C]nother land where, [D]I don t have to [G]stay

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

[G]I was damned and [Em]you were saved,
[Am]and I never knew [D]how enslaved,
I was [G]kneeling;
in the [Em]chains of my [C]master[D]

[G]I could laugh but [Em]you could cry,
[Am]and I never knew [D]just how high,
I was [G]flying;
ah, with [Em]you right a[C]bove me[D]

And the now [C]chilly Cali[D]fornia [G]wind,
is [C]blowing down our [D]bodies a[G]gain
And were [Am]sinking [Em]deeper and [Am]deeper into the [G]chilly California [D]sand
Oh, I [C]know you be[Am]long in[Em]side my aching [G]heart
And [Em]can t you see my [Am]faded Levis [D]bursting a[Am]part?
And [Em]don t you hear me crying;
Oh [G]babe, don t go?
[Am]And don t you hear me screaming;
[D]How was I to know?

[G]I m in the middle of [C]nowhere,
[D]near the end of the [G]line
But there s a border to [C]somewhere waiting,
[D]and there s a tankful of [G]time

[Em]For crying out [D]loud,

[Em]For crying out [D]loud,
you know I [G]love you
[Em]For crying out [D]loud,
you know I [C]love [G]you [Em]    [Am]       [G]         [D]

[G]For taking in the rain when I m feeling so dry,
for [Am]giving me the answers when I m asking you why,
[C]and my oh [D]my,
for that I [G]thank you

For taking in the sun when I m feeling so cold,
for [Am]giving me a child when my body is old,
[C]and don t you [D]know,
for that I [G]need you?

For coming to my room when you know I m alone,
for [Am]finding me a highway and driving me home,
[C]and you got to[D] know,
for that I [G]serve you?

For pulling me away when I m starting to fall,
for [Am]revving me up when I m starting to stall,
[C]and all in [D]all,
for that I [G]want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game,
For [Am]praying for my future in the days that remain,

[C]Oh, [D]lord,
for that I [G]hold you
Ah, but most of [Em]all
For crying out [D]loud,
for that I [G]love you
Who, but most of [Em]all,
for crying out [D]loud,
for that I [G]love you

Who, but most of [Em]all,
for crying out [D]loud,
For that I [G]love you[G]  [Em]     [G]       [Em]
When you re [Em]crying out [D]loud,
You know I [C]love [G]you
