[Verse 1]
CLovers accustomed to trD9agedy
Em9/BSee every kiss in the windEmow across the sCtreet
Breezes and bleD9ssings passing bEm9/By, ah ooh-oh. Em
CI'm in the shade of the D9dogwood tree
Em9/BNot the one where you tEmold your name to Cme
Two hungry D9blackbirds land nearEm9/Bby, oh Em
[Chorus]
CIf I could D9be
Em9/Bover you when the Emsky starts fallin' C
Would you be D9happy under Em9/Bme? Em
CIf I could D9be
Em9/Bunder you if the EmEarth was burnin' C
Could you be D9trusted over Em9/Bme? Em
[Verse 2]
CSpoke to a mother whose D9baby drowned
Em9/BGave me advice, or a rEmumor she once Cheard
"Heaven's a D9distance, not a Em9/Bplace," Emoh
CGave her an ear from the D9corn we grew
Em9/BYou were away but she Emgave her thanks to Cyou
That was a D9year ago come Em9/BMay, Emoh
[Chorus]
CIf I could D9be
Em9/Bover you when the Emsky starts fallin'C
Would you be D9smothered under Em9/Bme? Em
CIf I could D9be
Em9/Bunder you if the EmEarth was burnin'C
Would you be D9cryin' over Em9/Bme? Em
[Verse 3]
CI could hear kids in the D9yard next door
Em9/BCats in the brush when the Emcalendar fell dCown
Wait by the D9shade-tree one more yEm9/Bear, Emoh
CPoetry tempered with D9tragedy
Em9/BTempted and pulled when you Emcry upon my sCleeve
Two flocks of D9blackbirds meet the Em9/Bair, Emoh
[Chorus]
CIf I could D9be
Em9/Bover you when the Emsky starts fallin' C
Would you be D9happy under Em9/Bme? Em
CIf I could D9be
Em9/Bunder you if the EmEarth was burnin' C
Could you be D9trusted over Em9/Bme? Em
