Oh My Dear

I (F)called you up, you were in (Bb)bed.

Could barely (F)make out the words that you (Bb)said.

But you (F)wanted to see me (Am7)instead,

so I got dressed.

Then (F)I stepped out into the (Bb)snow,

and (F)walked for a mile or (Bb)so,

felt the (F)rush of blood come from the (Am7)cold in my chest.

(Bbsus2)Well, you (F)finally came to the (Bb)door,

and we (F)talked for an hour or (Bb)more,

until I (F)asked if you would stay up 'til (Am7)four.

You said, "That's fine."

But you said, (F)"There's something I have to (Bb)say,

and I (F)can't because I'm just so (Bb)afraid."

And so I (F)held you as you started to (Am7)shake that night.

(Dm)Oh, my dear,

I'll wait for you.

Grace (F)tonight will pull us through.

Until the tears have left your eyes,

until the fear

(Dm)can sleep at night, until the demons that you're scared of disappear inside,

until this guilt begins to crack,

and the weight falls from your back,

oh, my dear,

I'll keep you (C)in my arms tonight.

(F)Mm.

(Bb)You slowly (F)lifted your head from you hands.

You said, "I just don't think that you'll understand.

You'll never look at me that way again,

if you knew what I did."

And so your tears fell and melted the snow.

You told me secrets nobody had known,

but I never loved you more,

even though now I knew what you did.

(Dm)Oh, my dear,

I'll wait for you.

Grace (Fmaj7)tonight will pull us through.

(Dm)Oh, my dear,

I'll wait for you.

Grace (Fmaj7)tonight will pull us through.

(Bbsus2)Until the tears have left your eyes,
