VERSE 1
CEm7
I spent my time, watching
GG/F#
The spaces that have grown between us.
CEm7
And I cut my mind on second best,
GG/F#
Oh the scars that come with the greenness.
CEm7
And I gave my eyes to the boredom,
GG/F#
Still the seabed wouldn't let me in.
CEm7
And I try my best to embrace the darkness
GC
In which I swim.
CEm7
Now walking back, down this mountain,
GG/F#
The strength of a turnin' tide.
CEm7
Oh the wind so soft, and my skin,
GG/F#
Yeah the sun so hot upon my side.
CEm7
Oh lookin' out at this happiness
GG/F#
I searched for between the sheets,
CEm7
Oh feelin' blind, I realize,
GG/F#C
All I was searchin' for... was me.
Em7GG/FC
Oh oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me.
D
Oh yeah
CHORUS

VERSE 2 (same as VERSE 1)
CEm7
Now I saw a friend of mine, the other day,
GG/F#C
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.
CEm7
Oh I said I'd been away, and he knew...
GG/F#C
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
CEm7
And it felt so good to see his face,
GG/F#C
All the comfort invested in my soul,
CEm7
Oh to feel the warmth, of his smile,
GG/F#C
When he said, 'I'm happy to have you home.'
Em7GG/FC
Oh oh-oh, I'm happy to have you home.
D
Oh yeah
CHORUS (same as above)
Em7DC

Em7DC
keep your mind set in your ways.... Keep your heart strong.
