Tom: D

       A5                  F#5
Did I ever take you in my arms
                C#5                D5
Look you in the eye, tell you that I do
       A5              E5
Did I ever open up my heart
                  A5
And let you look inside

           E7sus4 E            A      F#m
If I never did it, I was only waiting
              Bm    E             A
For a better moment   that didn't come
             E7sus4 E          A     F#m
There never could be a better moment
      Bm7  E         A
Than this one, this one

The swan is gliding above the ocean
A god is riding upon his back
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black

Did I ever touch you on the cheek
Say that you were mine, thank you for the smile
Did I ever knock upon your door
And try to get inside

If I never did it, I was only waiting
For a better moment that didn't come
There never could be a better moment
Than this one, this one

The swan is gliding above the ocean
A god is riding upon his back
How calm the water and bright the rainbow
Fade this one to black

D          E           A            F#m
What opportunities did we allow to flow by
G                 Em             A
Feeling like the timing wasn't quite right
D             E                A                F#m
What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm
G                            E
Couldn't I have given you a better life...

 better life...

Did you ever take me in your arms
Look me in the eye, tell me that you do
Did I ever open up my heart
Let you look inside
