[Strophe]
     F           C 
Your eyes they tie 
   F       C 
me down so hard 
     F      C           G     C 
i'll never learn to put up a guard 
  F         C 
so keep my love 
   F      C 
my candle bright 
    F     C        G       C 
learn me hard, oh learn me right
[Strophe]
     F        C 
this ain't no sham 
  F         C 
i am what i am
[Strophe]
       F      C 
though i may speak 
     F       C 
some tongue of old 
   F         C        G     C 
or even spit out some holy word 
  F        C 
i have no strength 
     F       C 
from which to speak 
         F      C         G       C 
when you sit me down, and see i'm weak
[Refrain]
        F       C 
we will run and scream 
         F          C 
you will dance with me 
        F           C 
they'll fulfill our dreams 
              G 
and we'll be free  
            F         C 
and we will be who we are 
            F        C 
and they'll heal our scars 
                 C   G 
sadness will be far away
[Strophe]
   F     C 
So as we walked 
        F          C 
through fields of green 
       F       C       G     C 
as the fairest sun i'd ever seen 
      F    C 
and i was broke 
      F      C 
i was on my knees 
    F        C      G      C 
but you said yes as i said please
[Strophe]
     F        C 
this ain't no sham 
  F         C 
i am what i am  
  F         C 
i leave no ties 
      F       C 
for a cynics mind
[Refrain]
        F       C 
we will run and scream 
         F          C 
you will dance with me 
        F           C 
they'll fulfill our dreams 
              G 
and we'll be free  
            F         C 
and we will be who we are 
            F         C 
and they'll heal our scars 
          F        C  G 
sadness will be far away
[Outro]
        Am                        C 
do not let my fickle flesh go to waste 
       Am                              C 
as it keeps my heart and soul in it's place 
           F                     G        Am 
and i will love with urgency but not with haste 
C
