Chorus:
G
You and I we are one
Would you lie with me?
 Bm
You and I we are one
Would you lie with me? - x2

Bm
You speak In ways
I thought were only mine
You show me otherwise
     F#m
Keeps me aware
A
Some thoughts I quell
I know them well
They’re only mine to keep
         E
But you see through me

       G
Your friendly presence
Is truly grounding
You calm me
                     Bm
Humbling, but never shaming
G
Keeps me going on
I’m always on the move
Retreated in my mind
      Bm
There is my rest

Chorus - x2

Leaning, way too late
Thinking over my desk
Body forgets to eat
But not to drink
Work and I love strong
Feeling detached
Seated somewhere near
Five inches behind my sight

Your friendly presence
Is truly grounding
You calm me
Humbling, but never shaming
Keeps me going on
I’m always on the move
Retreated in my mind
There is my rest
