I thought you were the wind
FC
Rattlin through this house again
CFCC/B
I thought you were the moon
AGC
Lightin up these empty rooms
CFC
I thought you were the sun
FC
Shining down on everyone but me
CFCC/B
I thought you were the night
AGC
And thats as close as I came to being right
FC
CFC
I saw you on the ground
FC
Every time that I fell down
CFCC/B
I saw you in the sky
AGC
Reaching out as I flew by
CFC
I heard you on the sea
FC
Always calling out to me
CFCC/B
I saw you in the northern lights
AGC
And thats as close as I came to being right

I didnt know it could grow so dark
FCGF
I didnt know it could break my heart
FCGFF/B
I thought it to better not to put up a fight
AGC
And thats as close as I came to being right
SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS
CFC
I thought you were the wind
FC
Blowin through my home again
CFCC/B
I thought you were the moon
AGC
Now nothin lights these empty rooms
CFC
I thought you were the sun
FC
Spreading warmth on everyone but me
CFCC/B
I thought you were the night
AGCC/B
