I told you I was never coming back,
G     C                 Dsus4 Em
I was trying to breathe even--ly,
               C                       G
when the phone stopped ringing for the first time in a long time,
       Dsus4
and you flashed that smile at me.
             A                  D
and then you opened up the window,
G          G/F#      C
I felt the air roll in,
         G                            D
in the place where the world stops forever,
         C                        [intro]
in the place where your body begins.



G         C                             Dsus4 D G
you were staring down at the street below. 
G         C        Dsus4 D Em
there was nobody there. 
C                  G
they built a fire down there in the alley.
                            Dsus4
I saw the fires rising everywhere.
             A                  D
and then you opened up the window,
    G            G/F#     C
the north wind began to blow.
          G                           Dsus4
we were just a few short hours from something really special
     C                           G
and I heard you singing soft and lo-o-o-w.
