Ab  Db  Ab  Db


[VERSE I]
               Eb              DbIf skin should touch and words evaporate
        Ab                         Db6Trouble clear out of sight with my whole body listening
               Eb                 Db/F      DbMy heart leans out like these old river trees
          Ab                Bbm      DbCloser to be where you glide, moving under me, glistening


[CHORUS]
          Ab         DbIf 8 were 9, I would hold you
              AbYeah, I would rock you
        DbI would shelter you, darling
          Ab         DbIf 8 were 9, I would lift you
         AbLift you clear off the ground
            DbThrough the gates into morning


[VERSE II]
               EbThe time would stretch
                  DbStretch out these magic hours
     AbInto days, into years
         DbTomorrow lost in the distance
               EbA voice speaks out
                Fm7      DbSays, "Hey man, let it go"
           Ab                Bbm7But when a heart has been true
               DbWell, it don't make any difference
