Verse 1
[D]
You took my sadness out of context
[Am]
At the Mariners Apartment Complex
[G] [D]
I ain't no candle in the wind
[D]
I'm the bolt, the lightning, the thunder
[Am]
Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder
[G] [D]
Who you are and who you've been
Pre-Chorus 1
[D]
And who I've been is with you on these beaches
[Am]
Your Venice bitch, your die-hard, your weakness
[G] [D]
Maybe I could save you from your sins
[D]
So, kiss the sky and whisper to Jesus
[Am]
My, my, my, you found this, you need this
[G] [D]
Take a deep breath, baby, let me in
Chorus 1
[Am] [G] [D]
You lose your way, just take my hand
[Am] [G] [D]
You're lost at sea then I'll command your boat to me again
[Am] [G] [D]
Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am
[Am] [G] [D]
I'm your man
[Am] [G] [D]
I'm your man
Verse 2
[D]
They mistook my kindness for weakness
[Am]
I fucked up, I know that, but Jesus
[G] [D]
Can't a girl just do the best she can?
[D]
Catch a wave and take in the sweetness
[Am]
Think about it, the darkness, the deepness
[G] [D]
All the things that make me who I am
Pre-Chorus 2
[D]
And who I am is a big time believer
[Am]
That people can change, but you don't have to leave her
[G] [D]
When everyone's talking, you can make a stand
[D]
'Cause even in the dark I feel your resistance
[Am]
You can see my heart burning in the distance
[G] [D]
Baby, baby, baby, I'm your man, yeah
Chorus 2
[Am] [G] [D]
You lose your way, just take my hand
[Am] [G] [D]
You're lost at sea then I'll command your boat to me again
[Am] [G] [D]
Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am
[Am] [G] [D]
I'm your man
[Am] [G] [D]
I'm your man
Interlude
[Am7] [G] [D] (x4)
Outro
[D]
Catch a wave and take in the sweetness
[Am7] [G] [D]
Take in the sweetness, you want this, you need this
[Am7] [G] [D]
Are you ready for it, are you ready for it, are you ready for it?
