D

[Verse 1]

       D                         Bm
It all starts to happen with the sun going down,
         D                      A         D
When the light gently falls and fades away.
                                 Bm
And the air hangs heavy with the scent of your soul,
        D                       A           D
As it's saying goodbye to the end of the day.

[Verse 2]

       D                   Bm
And it all begins with the kiss of a lifetime
       D                    A             D
That's never been given and never been alone.
                                 Bm
And is it God-given mercy this absence of touch.
           D                       A               D
Should you love me at all, could I love you this much.

[Chorus]

        Bm                               G                A
And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory.
         Bm                       G              A
And with half of my heart I respect your sad call.
        Bm                             G            A
You can be who you are through this time of your trouble.
     Bm                          G        A             D
This time that we're sharing before         the last fall.

[Verse 3]

        D                              Bm
And as I sit here and wonder about the fate of my being,
        D                       A         D
And the weight of my seeing you so far away.
                                Bm
But I refuse to go under this part of my loneliness,
            D                 A            D
When all of this heartache is heading my way.

[Verse 4]

        D                        Bm
I'm seeing your soul through the eyes of eternity,
     D                    A          D
When all my resistance is fading away.
                                    Bm
And from the depths of this hole I can deal with your agony,
         D          A        D
Hoping to help you in any way.

[Chorus]

        Bm                               G                A
And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory.
         Bm                       G              A
And with half of my heart I respect your sad call.
        Bm                             G            A
You can be who you are through this time of your trouble.
     Bm                          G        A             D
This time that we're sharing before         the last fall.

[Verse 5]

           D                        Bm
And from where I am standing, what looks like adversity
       D          A             D
May be anxiety wrapped up in fear.
                             Bm
Or failing to recognize the heartbeat of someone,
           D                  A               D
Of someone who wants you and sees you so clear.

[Verse 6]

        D                              Bm
I can only tell you to follow your feelings,
       D                     A             D
And follow your heart to the end of the road.
                                 Bm
And you may find out when you finally get there.
           D           A               D
And open a window or close all the doors.

[Chorus]

        Bm                               G                A
And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory.
         Bm                       G              A
And with half of my heart I respect your sad call.
        Bm                         G           A
You can be who you are in this time of your trouble.
     Bm                          G        A             D
This time that we're sharing before         the last fall.
