Intro: G

G                                Am
I long to feel the warmth and the sadness 
      G                        D
as the sun reappears through the break of dawn 
       C                G
like a note, black and white 
         Am
when you dance you will learn 

when you learn you'll return 

when you turn you will look 
                                     G  
when you look you will have what you own
 
G                            Am 
to find a resting place, from shadow 
       G                            D     
of the love we once erased, means we hide no more 

       C                G
like a note, black and white 
         Am
when you dance you will learn 

when you learn you'll return 

when you turn you will look 
                                     G  
when you look you will have what you own

F          C              G
 but i must never walk you home 
F              C               G

    G                             Am
 and all through the night, like a rag doll 
        G                      Bm       
i could hear her move, i could hear you call 

       C                G
like a note, black and white 
         Am
when you dance you will learn 

when you learn you'll return
