  C                F
This is how the story went
  Am            G/B
I met someone by accident
      F         C
Who blew me away
     F         G
It blew me away

       C              G/B
It was in the darkest of my days
         Am                       G
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
     F            C
And buried them away
     F            G
You buried them away

Chorus:
   Dm               G
I wish I could lay down beside you
  C              F
When the day is done
    Dm               G                Am
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
     Dm                  G
But like everything I've ever known
     C             F
You disappear one day
      Dm                  G                C
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away

You dropped me off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of my head
Watched me wave,
you watched me wave

Then you went on home to your skyscrapers
And neon lights and waiting papers
That you call home,
you call it home

Chorus

I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain,
the morning rain

And although I wish that you were near
The same old road that brought me here
It's calling me home,
it's calling me home

Chorus

I can spend my whole life hiding my heart away
