A
In the calling out to one another
       F#m
All the lovers up and down the strand
D
In the sound of the waves and the cries
       E
Of the seagulls circling the sand

A
In the fragments of the songs
                 F#m
Carried down the wind from some radio
D
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
E
Ominous and low

A                     F#m  
I hear the sound of a world where we played
        D                           E
And the far too simple beauty of the promises we made

F#m               D
If you ever need holding
A             E
Call my name, I'll be there

F#m              D
If you ever need holding
       A                          E
And no holding back, I'll see you through

A   F#m
Sky blue and black
D     E

Repeat intro

A
Where the touch of the lover ends
        F#m
And the soul of the friend begins
          D
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
      E
And a struggle neither wins

A
Where you gave me the world I was in
      F#m
And a place I could make a stand
              D
I could never see how you doubted me
         E
When I'd let go of your hand
A         F#m
Yeah, and I was much younger then
      D                   
And I must have thought that I would know
   E
If things were going to end
F#m                   D
And the heavens were rolling
A                 E
Like a wheel on a track
F#m                D
And our sky was unfolding
A                     E
 And it'll never fold back

A            F#m
Sky blue and black
D     E
