C                    F           C
Hear me calling your name in the night
                                 F      C
to run to your window thinking a coyote might
   G
be howling
C                   F         C
Hear me knocking at your door again
                     F        C
to tell yourself its only the wind
      G
thats blowing
C                        F           C
The sun in the sky sinks down in the west
                          F             C
to tell yourself that the heart in your chest
         G
is still beating
C                       F    C
Will you know or must I tell you
                  F     C               G
this is my lovers spell you have fallen into
   C                 G           C
my dear, my voice is all, you'll hear
                                    G
Only the sound of my heart pounding darling
C
You took my heart, cast it aside, laughed when I cried
                        F
like it was just no big deal
    C                     G
and here all alone in the dark
                    C
I know just how you feel
 
C F G C F G C
 
C                  F         C
Feel my fingers on your skin again
                     F       C      G
to tell yourself its just no use in crying
C                    F        C
The stars in the sky begin to fade
                          F                   C
to tell yourself don't be afraid its just the night
      G
thats dying
C                       F    C
Will you know or must I tell you
                  F     C               G
this is my lovers spell you have fallen into
   C                 G           C
my dear, my voice is all, you'll hear
