[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I've been [G]blind,
she's been kind.
She [C]knows at times I forget to [G]see.
Through a cold dark cloud,
an imaginary shroud or a
[C]shadow settles over [G]me.[Em]
I once was smart,
it was back at [C]the [G]start.
[Em]I offered her my body
and my [C]soul.[G]
Thought in my heart it would [Em]tear me apart;
It [C]made [Em]me w[G]hole.

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
Keep it [G]simple,
keep it clear. It's what we like to hear.
She don't [C]argue, she don't ever [G]lie.
If I say it's so,
it's so. She don't want to know
If it's a [C]metaphor or
something in dis[G]guise.
[Em]She let me know, a long [C]time ago[G]
It's [Em]better to say just what I [C]mean.[G]
Truth to tell it can [Em]hurt like hell,
But it [C]keeps me [G]clean.

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][Em][C][G]

[Verse 3]
My guiding [G]star, I don't stray far.
I [C]keep her in my mind and in [G]my eye.
I've been lost before, but never any more.
I just [C]look up at my compass in [G]the sky.
I had my [Em]fears, in the [C]early [G]years,
That [Em]I'd locked me up and
throw'd away the key
[C]I l[G]ost my mind to the ties[Em] that bind,
But it [C]set me free

[Interlude 3]
[G][C][G][C][G]
[Em][C]
[G][Em][C][G][Em][C][Em][C][G]

[Verse 4]
Oh she's [G]fast, I know I'll never ask,
She's [C]by me now but I
don't really [G]mind
I hardly know, I'm oh so slow,
My [C]shadow often kicks me from behind.
[G]I o[Em]nce was fast, in the dist[C]ant past.
[G]In a mighty demonstr[Em]ation of my wil[C]l,[G]
I kissed her twice at the [Em]speed of light.
[C]Time stood still.
[G]

[Verse 5]
I kissed her twice at the [Em]speed of light,
And [C]time [Em]stood [G]still.
