riff
C C/B Am
You put a rose in my hand
F
Put a dollar in my pocket
G
But you don't understand
riff C C/B Am
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night
F G
I see the morning but you won't see the light
Em Am
I thought about you for a long, long time
Em Am Fm
I wrote about you but the words don't seem to rhyme
C C/B Am
And now you're lying here
F G C riff
But my heart still beats for you
C C/B Am
Had a dream about you
F
You sat right down beside me
G riff
And you told me we were through
C C/B Am
It was all so real and you told me reasons why
F
You brought me to the window
G
And you taught me how to fly
Em Am
I thought about you for a long, long time
Em Am Fm
I said I love you but we just don't have the time
C C/B Am
And now you're lying here
F G C
But my heart still beats for you
[cello part] C C/B Am F G
Em Am
I thought to hold you for a long, long time
Em Am Fm
You said I love you but my heart won't seem to chime in
C C/B Am
And now you're lying here
F G C
And my heart still beats for you
C/B Am F G C
I'm trying, and my heart still beats for you

| To me, this song is about a man who broke up with his lover. The dream he talks about where she sat down and said that they were through with each other wasn't a dream, but to the man it feels like a bad nightmare. They each seem to still have love for the other, but they don't feel like they can repair the problems in their relationship ("we just don't have the time"). The song is him trying to tell her that he still loves her, even though she may not understand how or why. This is one of my favorite songs now. I heard it the day after I broke up with my girlfriend, and I cried because it was exactly how I felt. | |
