If You Were a Stone Lyrics

If You Were A Stone by Ron Pope
Chords:
Chords can also be played in the standard way that sounds fine too.
Intro:
Chorus:
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
If you were a tree then I'd be the earth
Clutching your roots as you reach skyward
Verse 1:
I am a metaphor for all the things I couldn't say
It's never easy, then it hurts
Like scratching diamonds I have tried to find my way to you
But we're both moving in reverse
Pre Chorus:
I wish that we could both find a simple way just to make it by
Right now I'm alright if you're just fine
Verse 2:ttp://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/ron_pope/if_you_were_a_stone.html )
Some nights you're a photograph fading in my memory
Some days I feel you on my skin
We're trading silence
There are words that seem to steal our breath
And I just dream about your lips
Pre Chorus
Chorus 2:
We'd count the stars
My hands in your leaves
And I'd hold my breath 'til we both fell asleep
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
Bridge: (Mute chords early on)
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for
I will wait, I will wait, I will wait for you
Outro:
If you were a stone then I'd be the rain,
Em C (End on C)
Turn you to sand as the time slips away
