[Verse 1]
Gm Eb Bb F
I feel it coming before it hits the window and shades.
Gm Eb Bb F
Here in the desert it finds me the same time every day.
Gm7 Eb Bb F
Fully aware I will hurt if I open my eyes.
Gm Eb Bb F
I keep them shut tight and go back to the time.
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
First light, I still remember that long drive. The cold of the wind turned.
Eb Fsus F
There burned a fire, a fire so wild and new.
Bb Gm7
And a deep red painted cross the sky made you catch your breath,
As do the best things in life.
Eb
Your heart beat
C
It moved to rhythm of mine.
Eb F
Mine at first light.
[Verse 2]
Gm Eb Bb F
I opened a letter dated March the 13th, Sunday.
Gm
You said you were in love with me,
Eb Bb F
Made it quite clear that you'd never felt this way.
Gm7 Eb Bb F
It's ironic, it's funny when eyes see perfection they cry.
Gm Eb Bb F
But Oh if they lose it, when they lose it they die.
[Chorus]
Bb Gm
First light, I still remember that long drive. The cold of the wind turned.
Eb Fsus F
There burned a fire, a fire so wild and new.
Bb Gm7
And a deep red painted cross the sky made you catch your breath,
As do the best things in life.
Eb
Your heart beat
C
It moved to rhythm of mine.
Bb
Mine at first light.
[Instrumental]
Bb Gm Eb Fsus
[Short Chorus]
Bb Gm
First light, can't help but remember that long drive
Eb F
Watching the embers grow cold.
Bb Gm
And with eyes red, I choked on the words that were never said.
Eb Fsus
Like strangers we said our goodbyes... At first...
[Bridge]
Bb Eb Bb Fsus
No I won't lose you so I stand in the path of the train,
Bb Eb Bb Fsus
And angry the passengers say that this man is insane,
But you come hold me
Gm Eb Bb Fsus
And say "why would you leave me you know I'm no good on my own?
Gm Eb Bb F
Life is too cold, to grow old all alone."
[Final Verse]
Bb/Eb
But it's all in my mind
Bb/G
And I'll ache if I wake.
F Bb/Eb
Be filled with desire.
Bb/G F
Consumed by years of mistakes
Bb/Eb
But if I close my eyes,
Bb/G
I'm sure you'll be mine.
F Bb/Eb
If I close my eyes,
Fsus
I know you'll be mine,
Till...
[Outro]
