(Am)Side by side you touch my skin, I reach out and from within, [Em]Hearts abound and crash around, La[Am]venderman. The [Am]sky is covered with a [C]sea of grey now, The [Am]air is close and I [C]hear it say now, Our [Am]dreams are shooting up [C]through the ceiling, They [Am]hit the roof when I [C]started screaming. (strum once, then hold) [Am]Of course you stayed right by my side, never flinching, always kind, You [Em]don't deserve this sort of ride, La[Am]venderman. (Am)Hold me please until I sleep, rock me slow into the deep, Where [Em]I may hide until I die, La[Am]venderman. {c:REPEAT Chorus ("The sky is covered ...").
