Safe And Warm Tonight

Intro:        F   G   C   Am   F   G  

  C                        
I close my eyes the sun comes up
   E
The sleep it never seems to be enough
      F              Fm                 Em7 
Every morning it gets harder to face the day
        C
Out this window I stare as time passes by
Am                            E
     Nothing to do but sit and wonder why
 F                                   G
A thousand tears hasn’t washed it all away

    C                             
Once upon a time when time stood still
   E
The pages of life were ours to fill
    F              Fm                Em7
Like the lines from a play that’s been erased
C
   Now I turn around and I hope to see you
Am                           E
Laughing and joking like you used to do
F                                  G
   Instead, a lonely shadow takes your place

Chorus:
         F      G                 C
I feel so empty inside without you here
         F              G              Am
Don’t you know sometimes life can be so unfair?
F                      G              Am        D
  I’m wishing you could still be by my side
   F                      G                  C       
But most of all I pray the road your on finds you 
             Am
Safe and warm tonight 
F          G      C       
      Finds you 
             Am         F  G 
Safe and warm tonight


      C                             
Every time it rains, I miss you more
 E
I swear that damn cloud won’t leave my door
F                       Fm           Em7
Just like a storm, it all comes undone somehow
 C
I always believed that it would never end
Am                       E
   No matter where we had gone or been 
F                                      G
If only I’d known back then what I know now

   C                                                      
But I guess sometimes we have to say goodbye
E
  Just like the stars that fall from the sky 
F                     Fm                  Em7
 The tears we cry won’t stop the world from turning
C
  Another sleepless night without you my friend
Am                             E 
  I close my eyes the sun comes up again
F                                     G
 I tell myself it’s not the end, who am I kidding?

Chorus:

         F      G                 C
I feel so empty inside without you here
         F              G             Am
Don’t you know sometimes life can be so unfair?
F                     G            Am     D
I’m wishing you could still be by my side
    F                    G                   C        
But most of all I pray the road your on finds you 
              Am
safe and warm tonight 
F         G            C              Am      
Finds you safe and warm tonight
F       G              C              Am      
Finds you safe and warm tonight
F       G              C              Am      
Finds you safe and warm tonight

F  G C Am       F G C Am     FADE..........
