In My Own Way

  C
I gathered a mountain
  F
An ocean of teardrops
  Dm
A castle of break-ups
  G  G4  G
To hide myself in

  C
I've waited a lifetime
  F
For someone to find me
  Dm
For someone to reach me
  G  G4  G
Somewhere to begin

           Am    F
Now I'm a woman
       C                        G

          Am      F
We're no strangers
       C                        G
I can tell by the way that you smile

   C
I've painted the sunsets
   F
The dawnings I've missed you
   Dm
The hours I've kissed you
  G
To keep my heart alive

  C
It's the heat of your breathing
  F
The way you are whispering

The urge of your wanting

I can't leave you behind

Now I'm a woman
       C                        G

           Am    F
We're no strangers

I can tell by the waves in the night
