  D#
I wish no harm to come of you
Spilt bottles in shopping aisles
               C#
Cold rain in front of you
       D#
On the inside.
  D#
I wish no hurt to cover you
Magazine pictures of city-life
               C#
Wax smiles, vanilla cream,
     D#
The good eyes.

Free on an open ride
Fm              F#
Into the maple glow
F#                    C#

I'll be your man!

I wish no guilt to trouble you
No complications or moral lines
Thick dreams of summer dew
On the inside

I wish no scorn to follow you
I'll be your man honey I'll be fine
Long days to tower you
Don't cry
