Last Saturday
                Am
I stood in your entry way
                 Em
A place where we used to wait
            D
For cars to carry us away
                  G
Like once in this storm
                   Am
They drove me and Justin home
                   Em
The music was just being born
           D
It was all I was longing for
             G
Now I'm on a plane
              Am
Of singing my songs again
                       Em
Oh, please don't think ill of it
         D
It's the reason I exist
                    G
But you, you're the crutch of a cripple
You're the calm of a conscience
           Am
You're the peace that I have found
               Em
When all these voices talk too loud
              D
Well, you are quietly reassuring me
         G
With the hands of a healer
And the tongue of a teacher
          Am
It's your voice that I have known
          Em
To be the first one on the phone
              D                            G
Yeah, you ran all the lights to the hospital

F#           Bm
  So don't you say to me
E/A#
  That life's a trap
                            A7
The future is nothing but a tragedy
                            D
Because I'll be out of that window
                            Em
Yeah, I'll start wishing to die again
                           Bm
Just say we're not walking backwards, kid
    A
And show me to the door
                D
And I'll walk behind
             Em
Out into the hot sunlight
                       Bm
Where the world's very much alive
     F#              G  D
Even when I close my eyes


               G
Well, should I admit
                   Am
That my promise is counterfeit
                       Em
That I'm careless and childish
               D
And that's all I can hope to be
                 G
And would you concede
                  Am
That I think only of myself
              Em
I refuse everybody's help
              D
Who has been reaching out for me?
                         G
Well, you reach with the soul of a sailor
And the swing of a miner
         Am
You have cleared the rock away
        Em
Leaving gold there in it's place
          D
And it is more than anyone could claim
             G
Oh, with the sense of a banker
And with the touch of a tailor
    Am
You saved this life for me
             Em
And you have sown it to beauty
         D                                 G
And I am grateful now and I will always be

F#             Bm
  So would you sing with me
E/A#
  The song is all I know
                                   A7
Some truths are told now only in a melody
                       D
So I've been writing a new one
                          Em
Yeah, I've been taking my time with it
              Bm
It's gonna be so perfect
                A
It's gonna hold all of us inside of it
         D
You will see
                     Em
If you just add your harmony
                 Bm
I think it would be complete
       F#            G  D
And be worthy of singing
   F#          G  D
My clumsy symphony

                 G
Yeah, you're the cool of the water
You're the start of the summer
        Am
Keep me still like a anchor
In a storm you're the cellar
         Em
When I'm heavy with worry make me light as a feather
         D
When I'm deafened by anger you're the song I remember
         G
With the grace of a dancer and the strength of a pillar
         Am
When I'm starving to suffer you just fill me with laughter
         Em
You're a poet
And a saint
            D
You are the only one I choose to imitate
             G
Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera
          Am
It's this picture I have seen
           Em
We're on a sloping hill of green
            D                    G
And you are walking there beside me

Am Em D D7 G
