Verse 1
Am 
I got out of my bed,
C 
I wrote a letter down
D 
Was missing several words,
C 
Am 
C 
Am 
C 
but I could hear
Am 
I didn't know who
C 
D 
I would send the letter to
But there upon my step,
C 
strange man with eyes of
Am 
C 
Am 
C 
blue
Am 
A 
I went back to my desk,
C 
I wrote six letters more
D 
Stories about a shell washed
C 
Am 
C 
upon a shore
G 
D 
And when it opens up,
Am 
C 
Am 
C 
will you be there?
G 
D 
Cause when it opens up
E 
from its armor it's scared
A 
D 
C 
D 
Will you be there?
C 
Am 
A 
Am 
A 
I thought about the way
C 
D 
he stood so patient with
My fat and trembling hands,
C 
Am 
C 
Am 
C 
my traps and all my tricks
Am 
A 
But then it bubbled up,
C 
Am 
the endless well of doubt
D 
He'd see all I had done,
C 
Am 
A 
Am 
C 
figure the whole thing out
G 
D 
And when it opens up,
A 
C 
Am 
C 
will you be there?
G 
D 
Cause when it opens up
E 
from its armor it's scared
A 
Am 
A 
Am 
Will you be there?
C 
And all the times it's played
D 
A 
And all the times it's lied
C 
The ways that it's been led
D 
A 
and all the times it's tried
C 
To get on without love
D 
A 
C 
D 
E 
and keep killing the tide
D 
A 
I wrote a letter down,
C 
I'm missing several words
D 
But if you hear their sound,
C 
Am 
A 
C 
some way I've never heard
Am 
A 
C 
I'll seal it with my hands,
I'll press it to your heart
D 
C 
It's more than I can stand,
Am 
A 
Am 
maybe that's a   start
C 
G 
D 
And when it opens up,
Am 
C 
Am 
will you be there?
G 
D 
Cause when it opens up
from its armor
E 
it's scared, ooooh, scared
