Dm


[Verse 1]
F              Em/G                       Dm
What would you say if you knew what I was thinking?
F         G                      Dm
Maybe you do but you know not to dig too deep
F         C                        Am
What if I knew what you needed for sure?
     Em                         F
I've seen in your eyes you need more
     A
Much more.


[Chorus]
    Dm                   C
And I could be happy and you could be miserable
Gm7                  Bb         A
I'll grab a metaphor out of the air
    Dm  Am7  Dm       Am7    Dm
The Cuyahoga river on fire


[Verse 2]
F            Em/G                Dm
What can you say, the impossible happens.
F            G                        Dm        Am   Dm
What can you settle for, what can you live without?
F              C                           Am
I remember the night I first darkened your door
      Em
And I swore that I loved you
   F         A
My heart was pure


[Chorus]
    Dm                     C
And you could be happy and I could be miserable
Gm7                  Bb         A
I'll grab a metaphor out of the air
    Dm  Am7  Dm       Am7    Dm
The Cuyahoga river on fire


[Instrumental]
F  Em/G  Dm
F  Em/G  Dm  Am  Dm


[Bridge]
F       C                      Am
My open window, a dream in the dark
   Em
My fingers, your face
  F        A
A spark, a trace


[Chorus]
    Dm                   C
And I could be happy and you could be miserable
Gm7                  Bb         A
I'll grab a metaphor out of the air
    Dm  Am    Dm      Am
The Cuyahoga river on fire
Dm                     C                     Gm
I know a lot about the history of Cleveland, Ohio
               Bb            A
Disasters that have happened there
         Dm  Am7  Dm       Am7    Dm
Like the Cuyahoga river on fire
