For crying out loud (video) (midi)

G - Em - C - D

G Em

1. I was lost till you were found,

C Am

and I never knew how far down

G Em C - D

I was falling before I reached the bottom.

G Em

2. I was cold and you were fire,

C Am

and I never knew how the pyre

G Em C - D

could be burning on the edge of the ice field.

C D G

3a. And the now chilly California wind

C D G

is blowing down our bodies again,

C Am G D

and we’re sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand.

C Am G

Oh, I know you belong inside my aching heart,

Em Am - D D7

and can’t you see my faded Levis bursting apart.

Gm Bb

And don’t you hear me crying: Oh, babe, don’t go !

C - D - D7

And don’t you hear me screaming: How was I to know ?

G C - D G

3b. I’m in the middle of nowhere, near the end of the line,

G C

but there’s a border to somewhere waiting,

D G

and there’s a tankful of time.

G C - D G

Oh, give me just another moment to see the light of the day,

G C - D G

and take me to another land where I don’t have to stay.

Em D C G

3c. And I’m gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do,

Em D C

and I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes,

Am D - D7

open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through.

For crying out loud, you know, I love you !

Em D C - Am - D - D7

For crying out loud, you know, I love you !

4. I was damned and you were saved,

C Am

and I never knew how enslaved

G Em C - D

I was kneeling in the chains of my master.

G Em

5. I could laugh, but you could cry,

C Am

and I never knew just how high

G Em C - D

I was flying, ah, with you right above me.

C D G
