A               E
  Sitting on my porch again
   E/F#              A
And somethings in my head
                E
Thinking of the innocence
  E/F#            A
Of everything you said
                     E
You said the summers come again
  E/F#              A
To hold us in its hands
                    E
And warm us of our bitterness
    E/F#       A
From dawn to 9PM


(A)   A     E  E/F#
Ooooh ooooh oooooooh
A     A     E  E/F#
Ooooh ooooh ooooooo


[Chorus]
A                               E             B      A         B           E
Oh when their words strike like stones to our bones, I will be with you my dear
A                            E           B       A         B           E       E
And when the world knocks us down to the ground, I will be with you my dear


[Verse 2]
A                         E
   And I know you see the light in me
         E/F#             A
Cause you ask me how I've been
                   E
I always loved the courtesy
   E/F#         A
You know to ask again
                      E
You watch me sigh and hang my head
  E/F#               A
My darling, I've been cold
                     E
You tell me something good instead
       E/F#           A
And the colors turn to gold


      A     E  E/F#
Ooooh ooooh oooooooh
             (And the colors turn to gold)
A     A     E  E/F#
Ooooh ooooh ooooooo
             (And the colors turn to gold)


[Chorus]
A                               E             B      A         B           E
Oh when their words strike like stones to our bones, I will be with you my dear
A                            E           B       A         B           E
And when the world knocks us down to the ground, I will be with you my dear
A         B           A
I will be with you my dear
