Strum
D-DU-UDU
I thought you were the wind
Rattlin through this house again
/B]
I thought you were the moon
Lightin up these empty rooms
I thought you were the sun
Shining down on everyone but me
/B]
I thought you were the night
And thats as close as I came to being right
I saw you on the ground
Every time that I fell down
/B]
I saw you in the sky
Reaching out as I flew by
I heard you on the sea
Always calling out to me
/B]
I saw you in the northern lights
And thats as close as I came to being right
I didnt know it could grow so dark
I didnt know it could break my heart
/]
I thought it to better not to put up a fight
And thats as close as I came to being right
SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS
I thought you were the wind
Blowin through my home again
/B]
I thought you were the moon
Now nothin lights these empty rooms
I thought you were the sun
Spreading warmth on everyone but me
/B]
I thought you were the night
And thats as close as I came to being right
/]
Thats as close as I came to being right
end on
