Verse 1
(E minor) It was a shame (C major) of a day,
(G major) I (E minor) can't believe
you slapped me in the face, (C major) that's (G major) it
I (C major) vowed that hand
would not slap me again (G major)
But you (E minor) opened your door
and the wind blew me in (G major)
I (A minor) saw you in the birthplace,
I (C major) saw you by the beds of dying men (G major)
I (A minor) saw you in the storm path,
lift (C major) ing up a boy gone fatherless (G major)
An (A minor) d I wanted everything (C major) you did
(G major) to (C major) live inside my skin, (G major)
to (A minor) live inside my skin (G major)
I was a (C major) mud, a stray, (G major)
the (E minor) kind of dog
that runs right through the flames
(C major) For fear (G major) to (C major) singe the darkness
of my younger years (G major)
You (E minor) opened your arms
and the wind blew me in (G major)
I (A minor) saw you in the bird place
Reach (C major) ing out to welcome tiny bees (G major)
I (A minor) saw you roam the city
cheer (C major) ing grounded artists to their wits (G major)
And (A minor) I wanted everything (C major) you did
(G major) to (C major) live inside my skin (G major)
To (A minor) live inside my skin (G major)
It was a hard life till I (E minor) found you my wife
It was a hard (G major) life till I (E minor) found you my wife
Ooh, (A minor) ooh, oo (E minor) h, ooh, ooh,
ooh, (D major) ooh, ooh, oo (A minor) h
Now we're (C major) on the globe
(G major) Two (E minor) school kids out walking
in the snow (C major)
Togeth (G major) er with a (C major) taxi driver
waving in the distance (G major)
We (E minor) opened our arms
and the world came flooding in (G major)
I (A minor) saw you in the birthplace
In (C major) the shadow of the ferris wheel (G major)
One (A minor) hand on my mother,
one (C major) hand pulling down
my daughter's veil (G major)
An (A minor) d I wanted everything (C major) you (G major) did
to (C major) live inside my skin,
(G major) to (A minor) live inside my skin (G major)
And we (E minor) opened our arms
and the world came floodin' in (G major)
We (E minor) opened our arms
and the world came floodin' in
