D#m            B     F#         A#
When I'm with you I feel like myself
     D#m           B        F#      C#
No stranger, the shadow of somebody else
D#m          B   F#         A#
When I feel you holding my hand
D#m    B        F#              C#  Ddim
I get touched, ain't this life grand

Chorus:
         B       F#      C#        D#m
But the form of life is long never ending
          B            F#      C#  Ddim
And the smell of your hello I know
          B         F#       C#       D#m
And the smile of a knife is seldom befriending
          B          F#     C#
And the smell of Tangelo I know

When I'm near you, I feel like a king
A life force inside to do anything
When I'm downtown, I pick up the phone
I hear you and I'm not alone

Chorus

       A#m          D#m        A#m          D#m
But December came strong, the mending went wrong
         G#m            C#         F#
And the clothes on the line never dried
         A#m        D#m        A#m        D#m
And the crows on my hill, came in for the kill
         G#m           C#         D#m
But the dream of this love never dies

When I lost you out in that field
My crooked eyes could hardly conceal
Tell me one time and bring me my tray
Oh, let it go and now I must pray
Let's pray
