Verse Chords:

My heart lifts when I sing

The joy I can bring

I want to see you again

 

I wither next to my thorns

I thread my tongue through the horn

Arm in arm in arm we are born

Arm in arm to the end

 

Chorus x1

 

Verse Chords:

My throat quits when I try to say

How I long for the day

How I wish there was a way

To see you again

 

Chorus x1

Oh I don’t want to
