[Intro 1]
[D][F#m]

[Verse 1]
[D]He sits low, in a shady grove
Where the trees arc slow,
in the shape of 'you [F#m]know'
Marble stairwells, waterfalls,
egrets' heads and open arms
[D]Whistling through his pensive teeth,
the scene is set to peak
Like how the [Bm]desert meets the reef
And steals the [G]heart, of the thief

[Verse 2]
[D]She walks slow, past the reach of home
In a Western World,
far from the things she knows
[F#m]Hanging gardens, patterned walls,
the books of Rilke, orchestras
[D]Motioning to the slow refrain,
the soul is set to gain
Or swal[Bm]low it whole
The causal [G]chain, of human loam

[Verse 3]
And as [D]seasons go, it's a lot like this
He reasons for a look, then a glance
To the [F#m]path, where she passed
From the page of a book, to
a perch in the grass
And as [D]meetings go, it's a lot like this
She tiptoes from the path,
to the edge of the [Bm]page
Where she dared, to be asked
What's [G]in a name?
What is [A]your name?

[Verse 4]
And if you let me [A]know[Bm]
I won't be [G]alone, I [D]won't be alone
And if [A]you have the time
[G]to [Bm]talk to
[G]I won't doubt [D]you[A]
And if I let you [G]know[Bm]
I [G]won't be alone, I won't [D]be alone
And if [A]you, as if you start [D]to fall[Bm]
I'll be here to catch [G]you[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Turning around, he sighs,
"will you sit next [F#m]to me?"
Motioning forward, she replies,
"will you walk next [D]to me?"
"I know my lines,
and there's a lot less space and a little bit of time"
[Bm]"I know the play, it's fine"[G]
[D]Echoing herself, she says,
"will you walk close to me?"
[F#m]Holding his smile, he replies,
"what more would you ask of [D]me?"
"I know my mind,
and there's a lot less space and a little bit of time"
[Bm]"I know the way, it's [G]fine[A]"

[Verse 6]
And if you let me [G]know[Bm]
I won't be [G]alone, I won't [D]be alone
And if [A]you have the time to [G]talk
[Bm]to[G][D]
[A]I won't doubt you
And if I let you [Bm]know
I won't be alone, [G]I won't b[D]e alone
And if [A]you, as if you start to fall
[G]I'll [Bm]be here to catch you[G]
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[F#m][D]
[Bm][G][D]

[Verse 7]
He's wasting [D]time,
you gotta take [F#m]it slowly
May never get a chance like [Bm]this[D]
And she knows he's wasting time
And she loves the way he [Bm]tries
Even though she knows the [G]lines[D]
She's taking time,
you gotta let things [F#m]grow
May never have a chance
[Bm]like [D]this
And he knows she takes her time
And he keeps along her side
[Bm]All hopes to keep along her [G]side

[Verse 8]
[D]As seasons go, it's a lot like this
He reasons for a look, then a glance
To the [F#m]path, where she passed
From the page of a book,
to a perch in the [Bm]grass
And as [D]meetings go, it's a lot like this
She tiptoes from the path,
to the edge of the [Bm]page
Where she dared, to be asked
[G]What's in a name?
What is [D]your name?
