It starts by finger picking C, then at the chorus he strums, and continues to do so for the remainder of the
song.
[Intro] C
[Verse 1]
CMy body was sleeping
While my Dmpoor mind was dreaming
When they woAmke me up I didn't know that I'd been screamCing
And mCy old heart was pounding, for the deDmvil had found me
TrAmapped me in a corner of my mCind
AnCd my legs were both shaking
From the pDmain they'd been taking
PiAmcked my body up, and aimed for hoCme
CBut I was warm like a fire
For I was fDmull of desire to holAmd on, to not let gCo
TChought of friends, thought of family
And aDmll who surround me
Those eAmnemies I danced with, so long agCo
LCet them know
[Chorus]
AmIf yGou find waFter, pAmleasGe call my Fname
PAmut mGe out likeF a fire, cAmoverG me in raiFn
C
[Verse 2]
CThought of stars and the planets
Wondered hDmow they could have planned this
And wAmhat were they thinking
How could they have knoCwn?
CI felt small but full of pride
I felt tDmall for my size
My eyAmes were black and fixed on the nCight
ACnd your name just hung
From a sDmong I had sung
ThAmere in the air
Suspended by beauCty
CThere are words that get spoken
Oh, and lDmives the leave broken
Some sAmtone breaks in half
And some stones shatteCrs
BCut my speech had been fleeting
Like the coDmmpany I'd been keeping
I never aAmsked for their names and they never asked for mCine
JCust a polluted highway
Or a clDmouded skyway
I'm a Ammess I confess, now send me the maCid
[Chorus]
IAmf yoGu find watFer, plAmeaseG call my nFame
PAmut mGe on like a fiFre, cAmoverG me in raiFn
C
[Verse 3]
CThought of stages with their singers
Oh, and Dmpainters with their fingers
I was Amstrong like a horse in carrying my sCong
CTo drop it off in some stable
When I was yDmoung I was able
To Amnever turn around, to never look beChind
CTo grow old, to grow distant
Like a Dmmare in the distance
BAmothering no one, so let her lCive
CUntil she dies
Picture lilies, picture wiDmllows
And a wild open window
To a rAmoom with a view, and both of us laughiCng
CJust children so young
Oh, at lDmeast in the scheme
With our Amhair still there
And you keep my teeth cleaCn
CI sing who is my creator
Not my mDmother
Not my father
But befAmore the universe burst wide on oCpen
[Chorus]
IAmf yoGu find watFer, pAmleasGe call my Fname
PAmut mGe on like a fFire, coveAmr meG in raiFn
IAmf yoGu find watFer, woAmn't Gyou call mFy name?
PAmut mGe on like a fFire, cAmoverG me in raiFn
