Oh My Dear by Tenth Avenue North
***CAPO 1***
E A
I called you up, you were in bed
E A
Could barely make out the words that you said
E G#m
But you wanted to see me instead
A
So I got dressed
E A
And I stepped out into the snow
E A
And walked for a mile or so
E G#m A
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, in my chest
E A
Well you finally came to the door
E A
And we talked for an hour or more
E G#m
Until I asked if you would stay up till four
A
You said that's fine
E A
But you said there's something I have to say
E A
And I can't because I'm just so afraid
E G#m A
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night
C#m E
Oh my dear
A A2
I will wait for you
C#m E A A2
Grace tonight, will pull us through
E A
Until the tears have left your eyes
E A
Until the fear can sleep at night
E A C#m
Until the demons that you're scared of, disappear inside
E A
Until this guilt begins to crack
E A
And the weight falls from your back
C#m
Oh my dear
A2 E
I'll keep you in my arms tonight
E A
You slowly lifted your head from your hands
E A
You said "I just don't think that youll understand
E G#m A
Youll never look at me that way again, if you knew what I did"
E A
And so your tears fell and melted the snow
E A
You told me secrets nobody had known
E G#m A
Oh, but I never loved you more even though now I knew what you did
C#m E
Oh my dear
A A2
I will wait for you
C#m E A A2
And grace tonight, will pull us through
C#m E A A2
Yeah, oh my dear, I will wait for you
C#m E A A2
And grace tonight will pull us through
E A
Until the tears have left your eyes
E A
Until the fears can sleep at night
E A C#m
Until the demons that you're scared of, disappear inside
E A
Until this guilt begins to crack
E A
And the weight falls from your back
C#m
Oh my dear
A2
I'll keep you in my arms...
E A
Till the tears have left your eyes
E A
Until the fears can sleep at night
E A C#m
Until the demons that you're scared of, have disappeared inside
E A
Until this guilt begins to crack
E A
And the weight falls from your back
C#m
Well, oh my dear
A2 E
Ill keep you in my arms tonight
A2 E
I'll keep you in my arms tonight
