I thought you were the wind
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â []
Rattlin through this house again
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â [/B]
I thought you were the moon
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â []
Lightin up these empty rooms
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â []
I thought you were the sun
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â []
Shining down on everyone but me
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â [/B]
I thought you were the night
             []       []           []
And thats as close as I came to being right
[] []
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â []
I saw you on the ground
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â []
Every time that I fell down
[] Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â [/B]
I saw you in the sky
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â []
Reaching out as I flew by
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â []
I heard you on the sea
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â []
Always calling out to me
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â [/B]
I saw you in the northern lights
            []        []          []
And thats as close as I came to being right
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â []
I didnt know it could grow so dark
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â []
I didnt know it could break my heart
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â Â [/]
I thought it to better not to put up a fight
            []         []     []
And thats as close as I came to being right
SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â []
I thought you were the wind
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â []
Blowin through my home again
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â [/B]
I thought you were the moon
  []                []     []
Now nothin lights these empty rooms
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â []
I thought you were the sun
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â []
Spreading warmth on everyone but me
[] Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â Â Â [] Â Â Â [/B]
I thought you were the night

And thats as close as I came to being right

Thats as close as I came to being right
