An Open Book

(início)

C
We walked across the fields
Am
Through coarse December rain
Em                   G
I knew but could not say
                        C
That I’d lost our love again
                          Am
It will come in waves you said
In tides it will return
Em                       G
The winter moon took it away
                     F
It’s another beaches turn
F                             C
You think that life's an open book
                              G
Filled with pictures that you took
Bb                           Am
You close the book the story ends
                           F
And it was so hard to make friends
                             C
You close the book the story stops
                                 G
Sometimes you stay down from the knocks
                             Am
You can't always come out on top
C
I walked across the hillside
Am
I looked out on the view
Em                    G
It could've been a TV show
                    C
If I’d had a bigger crew
                 Am
I see my life reflected
In pearls shed by your eyes
Em                    G
I wish for pearls of wisdom
                            F
Not just tears and long goodbyes
F                             C
You think that life's an open book
                              G
Filled with pictures that you took
Bb                           Am

                           F
And it was so hard to make friends
                             C

                                 G
Sometimes you stay down from the knocks
                             Am
You can't always come out on top
Dm
And when I wrote this song
C
I was on the run
Em
In a gold rush town
Am                           Dm
You didn’t think it was that good
                     C       Em7 Am
Even though you understood
F                         C
That life will be an open book
                              G
Filled with pictures that you took
Bb                           Am
You close the book the story ends
                           F
