Introduction:  C   Am  

   C                                           Am 
Lying in a puddle of my own remorse when
       C                                                                                 Am 
A voice came through the heavens: “Get back   on that horse.”
           Dm                                   G 
'Cuz love comes easy at first, unknown, then
             Dm                                 G                                   C     Am   C   Am 
To learn to tumble when you get thrown, oh yeah!
         C                                                           Am 
You opened up the doors to your protected heart and
     C                                                     Am 
  let a total stranger pick it all apart
         Dm                                 G 
But patience in the extreme with love
             Dm                                                   G                     C     Am 
Will bring you what you’ve been dreaming of, yeah!
               Am                                   D 
'Cuz black clouds only conceal the sun,
           Am                                             D                 G   Em   G 
And just like that you’re the only one.
                       C                                                           Am 
No we’re skipping through the fire like a summer rain,
     C                                                   Am 
Shielded by the aura of our shared remains.
 Dm                                   G 
I’d much rather die in your arms then
 Dm                                 G 
live without 'em around me first
       C                                                           Am 
Remember when you found me I was spoken for,
             C                                                         Am 
With tape around my mouth and lying on the floor
           Dm                                           G 
You propped me up and looked in my eyes
         Dm                                 G                           C     Am 
And I saw freedom and fireflies, oh yeah!
                 Am                                                     D 
All the weight was lifted, all my strength returned,
             Am                                           D                   G   Em   G 
The flies land on me but I'm not burned.
 G                                                   D 
Butterflies sleeping in a hurricane,
 D                                                                     G 
Peace is in your eyes while you’re giving birth.
 G                                                             D 
Waiting in the station for the mystery train,
         D                                                     G 
To come and put a smile on the face in the earth.
         Am                                               D 
I’m sure that’s why you were sent to me,
           Am                                 D                             G   Em   G 
That we together could set folks free!
                     C                                                       Am 
Now I’m swimming in the ocean that was once my tears,
       C                                                     Am 
A hurricane of joy has swept away my fears,
 Dm                                                     G 
      I’ve built an ark for the purpose of
 Dm                                             G 
      Floods of passion and     floods of love
 Dm                                             G 
You can’t stop them and nor can I
 Dm                                                       G                   C 
Gonna keep on going 'til the day we die.
