Verse 1
(C major) We walked across the field (A minor) s
Through coarse December rain (E minor)
I knew but could not say (G major)
That I'd lost our (E minor) love (G major) again (C major)
It will come in waves you said (A minor)
In tides it will return
(E minor) The Winter moon took it away (G major)
It's another beaches turn
(F major) You think that life's an open book (C major)
Filled with pictures (F major) that (G major) you took
You close the book, the story (A minor) ends
And it was so hard to make friend (F major) s
You close the book, the story stops
(C major) Sometimes you stay down
from (G major) the knocks
You can't always come
out (A minor) on top (C major)
I walked across the hillside
(A minor) I looked (D minor) out (A minor) on
the view (E minor)
It could've been a TV show (G major)
If I'd had a bigger crew
(C major) I see my life reflected
(A minor) In pearls shed by your eyes (E minor)
I wish for pearls of wisdom (G major)
Not just tears and long good (F major) byes
You think that life's an open book (C major)
Filled with pictures (D minor) that (G major) you took
You close the book, the story (A minor) ends
And it was so hard to make friend (F major) s
You close the book, the story stops
(C major) Sometimes you stay down
(D minor) from (G major) the knocks
You can't always come
out (A minor) on top (D minor)
And when I wrote this song (C major)
I was on the run (G major)
In a gold rush town (A minor)
You didn't think it was (E minor) that good (D minor)
Even though you understood
(C major) (G major) (D minor) (F major) That life will be an open book (C major)
Filled with pictures (D minor) that (G major) you took
You close the book, the story (D minor) (A minor) ends
And it was so hard to make (C major) friend (F major) s
You close the book, the story stops (C major)
Sometimes you stay down
(D minor) from (G major) the knocks
You can't always come out (D minor) (A minor) on top (C major) (A minor)
(E minor) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(A minor) (E minor) (G major) (F major)
You think that life's an (G major) open book (C major)
Filled with pictures (D minor) that (G major) you took
You close the book, the (D minor) story (A minor) ends
And it was so hard to make friend (F major) s
You close the book,
the story (G major) stops (C major)
Sometimes you stay down
(D minor) from (G major) the knocks
You can't always come (D minor) out (G major) (A minor) on top
