G Cadd9 Em7 D
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 Em7 D
It's in the darkness of believing
G Cadd9 Em7 D
It's in the shadows where we have to stand
Em D Cadd9
Beside the loving and the grieving
D
Oh I'll never understand
G Cadd9 Em7 D
It's in the way it has to reach us
G Cadd9 Em7 D
It's in the restless of the shifting sand
Em D Cadd9
And all the truth it has to teach us
D
Oh I'll never understand
[Chorus]
D G D
Holding back to listen to the ocean
G D
Holding back to dance inside the storm
Em D Cadd9
I may be foolish but I don't care
Cadd9 D Em Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G
As long as you are there
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 Em7 D
From edge to edge we take our pleasure
G Cadd9 Em7 D
We follow blindly each insane command
Em D C
Judged by some eternal measure
D
Oh I'll never understand
G Cadd9 Em7 D
Oh and peace is child to no-one
G Cadd9 Em7 D
We're held together by an endless strand
Em D Cadd9
First to be woven then to be undone
D
Oh I'll never understand
[Chorus]
D G D
Holding back to listen to the ocean
G D
Holding back to dance inside the storm
Em D Cadd9
I may be foolish but I don't care
Cadd9 D Em Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G
As long as you are there
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 Em7 D
Soon all the promises are broken
G Cadd9 Em7 D
And expectation passes underhand
Em D Cadd9
And not a gentle word is spoken
D
Oh I'll never understand
G Cadd9 Em7 D
It's in the darkness of believing
G Cadd9 Em7 D
It's in the shadows where we have to stand
Em D Cadd9
Beside the loving and the grieving
D
Oh I'll never understand
[Chorus]
D G D
Holding back to listen to the ocean
G D
Holding back to dance inside the storm
Em D Cadd9
I may be foolish but I don't care
Cadd9 D Em Cadd9 G Em Cadd9 G
As long as you are there
