G
The house can get cold
             Am
When there's no one to share
     C
The sun in the kitchen
    Am
The creak on the stairs
    G
The pictures of friends
        Am
Crooked blurs on the walls
    C
The pot of hydrangea
Am
Alone in the hall
G                      Am
You were a breeze idly passing me by
C                       Am
Dropped in my lap like a stone from the sky
G                           Am
When I come home now you're waiting right there
C                    Am
To offer an apple, a plum or a pear


[Chorus]
   C               Am
So close your eyеs valentine
C                 Am
Try to sleep some othеr time
C                   Am
Your burden's lying on the ground
G                   C
Between our shadows now


[Verse 2]
G
House can get cold
             Am
When there's no one to share
C
Weight on your conscious
Am
Not in your hair
G
Walk with me now and
      Am
We'll seek our reward
       C
In the simple contentment
Am
Time can afford


[Chorus]
    C               Am
So close your eyes valentine
C                 Am
Try to sleep some other time
C                   Am
Your burden's lying on the ground
G                   C
Between our shadows now
