[Verse 1]
Same as Intro
FDoubled the top knot flew out the lattice door
AmDo what he woCuldn't, do what he couldn't do
FNo lack of wouldn't could be my undoing
AmNo lack oCf trying, no lack of sighing loo
FWeave songs of loving, late dream songs of dying
AmRecite the oakwood flame,C rings count my olden days
FI've seen the beaches breached the peak of please and thanks
AmI've seen my features agCe, my fingers strange
F Am C
~~~ From the dew
FFrom the dew of the fields we greAmw C
FAnd I built a ship for two
AmIt waits for meC and you
FFrom the dew of the fields
Am C
~~~~~ Is it real? Is it real?
[Chorus] (There's a quick C between the Em and the G here, accented when he says "SHOW you the way")
Em~~~~~~C~ G I'll show you the way
CJust walk beside the low stream uGntil it fades
Into a melon Ccolored field
The wind willG know your name
And you don'tC have to run
You don't hEmave to change
Don't ever change F
[Verse 2]
FWe were the candles that Amlit up the snow oCn dusty roads
FWe were the animals breathAming life into JuCne just to see faith
FBlessed by the cannibal moAmon and the spoonC dipping deep to your nose
FStressed by the distance oAmf shoes and the Cbridges too far to be named
F~~~~~ Was it reaAml? C
FWhen we held our hands close to flame
Just to feAmel C
[Chorus]
EmI'll show you tChe waGy
Just waClk beside the low stream until it fades G
Into a honCey colored field
The wind wilGl know your name
And yoCu don't have to change
You doGn't have to change
[Bridge]
EmLove is real
Our love was real G
It's a haCnd, it's a hold, it's a shiGeld
[Chorus]
EmOur love was real
Our love was reaGl
It's toC hope, it's to dream, it's to heaEml
It's to Gheal
End on G
