Oh My Dear

	  		    F                       A# 
I called you up, you were in bed 
               F                        A# 
Could barely make out the words that you said 
         F                   Am 
But you wanted to see me instead 
           A# 
So I got dressed 
        F                   A# 
And I stepped out into the snow 
     F                  A# 
And walked for a mile or so 
          F                         Am             A# 
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, in my chest 


          F                    A# 
Well you finally came to the door 
        F                     A# 
And we talked for an hour or more 
          F                           Am 
Until I asked if you would stay up till four 
               A# 
You said that's fine 
         F                                A# 
But you said there's something I have to say 
       F                           A# 
And I can't because I'm just so afraid 
          F                          Am          A# 
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night 


Dm     F 
Oh my dear 
A#           A# 
I will wait for you 
Dm       F          A#       A# 
Grace tonight, will pull us through 

           F                    A# 
Until the tears have left your eyes 
           F                  A# 
Until the fear can sleep at night 
            F                   A#         Dm 
Until the demons that you're scared of, disappear inside 
             F               A# 
Until this guilt begins to crack 
          F                     A# 
And the weight falls from your back 
Dm 
Oh my dear 
A#                          F 
I'll keep you in my arms tonight 

            F                         A# 
You slowly lifted your head from your hands 
            F                               A# 
You said "I just don't think that youll understand 
             F                    Am                        A# 
Youll never look at me that way again, if you knew what I did" 
             F                       A# 
And so your tears fell and melted the snow 
              F                  A# 
You told me secrets nobody had known 
           F                          Am                       A# 
Oh, but I never loved you more even though now I knew what you did
