Bsus4                B
Back when I used to wander,
Bsus4             B           F#
I was always out looking for signs
Bsus4                 B
But they were never there,
                          F#
so I'd pull 'em from the air

We all believe in something,
but like you I can't say why
It's just a whisper in our ear,
or a bottle for our fears

Chorus:
G#m         E          B      F#
Hold me to light, let me shine
      F#             G#m        E       B
Come hold me to the floor and say it's alright
     F#                 G#m      D#m            E
Come hold me 'neath the water's skin until I'm new
 F#
again

I said what I was thinking:
that you can't see what's good 'til it's gone
And there's something to be said for
a place to lay your head
You told me I was simple, and you envied me
that peace of mind
Then we listened to the creek and it
did much more for me

Chorus:
I'll hold you to the light, let you shine
I'll hold you against the floor and
say it's alright
'cause down beneath the water's skin,
where we will swim
There's diamonds on the surface then
And, they'll come paint us both new again

These days I barely wander, and
I don't need no more of them signs
I'll just breathe in all that air
and be happy that it's there
