A                      C
If I were a mirror I'd look right deep inside myself
    A                               G
And if things were much clearer I'd see a brighter day
    A                        C
And if you were my lover I'd wrap your locks around my wrists
    A                               G
And shake beneath the shudders that turn to black or fade

[Chorus]
    D                           G
For you know that life is never ending
       D                                      G
But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try
               A               G
But I've got a love, she is my anchor
            A                 G
She held me down and saved my soul
            A                  G               D  G
So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go

[Verse 2]
A                        C
If I were the summer I'd give my light to all the world
    A                           G
And wake you in your slumber so you could see my eyes
    A                            C
And as your feelings crumble and all the words I keep unfurl
     A                            G
I'll catch you in your tumble and kiss your face goodbye

[Chorus]
    D                           G
For you know that life is never ending
         D                                    G
But sometimes the miles just seem too long to try
               A               G
But I've got a love, she is my anchor
            A                 G
She held me down and saved my soul
            A                  G                D  G
So take the blood and hate and anger and let it go
    D          G         D
aah ahh, oooh, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 3]
   A                        C
If I were made of water I'd slip my bones into the cracks
    A                            G
And freeze when it got colder to hold the walls in true
    A                          C
And when it came to summer I'd slip my soul into the yard
     A                              G
And give life to the flowers that I never gave to you

[Chorus]
      D                       G
But I know that life is never ending
        D                                   G
But sometimes the miles can cut you down to size
            A                G
But I had a love, she was my anchor
            A                 G
She held me down and saved my soul
            A                                   D  G
So take the love you never gave her, and let it go
  D      G      D
Ah ah, oh oh oh.
