C                             Am
If you really need some water - pray for rain
F                        C         G
If you're waking up cold - make a fire inside
C                                Am
If you want a tree that leads to heaven -
plant the seeds that grow
F                                C  G
If you need something to believe in

Chorus:
        D           Bm
To the turn of the tide
         G          A
To the glow of the moon
        D            Bm
To the sound of the rain
         G             A
To the sweet scent of dew
          Bm  A     G
I've been walking alone
  D             G      A
Thinking 'bout me and you

Love will never be easy how hard I try
To cover up my crying, to wipe the tears from my eyes
If you really need somebody I hope Im close behind
To put my arms around your world

Chorus - x2
