[Verse 1]
C#
I need a silent true-way to admire
C#
Like you as a sunset, and I as a wildfire
D#m F#maj7 C#
And I can let the day go...
[Verse 2]
C#
I've locked up these words, in fear that I'd say them wrong
C#
Is it love as a mountain, or love as a simple song?
D#m F#maj7 C#
And the moment that the two meet
D#m F#maj7 C#
Has now laid itself at your feet
[Chorus]
F#maj7 C# D#m C# F#
And love is not convenient
C#
It does not cease at your command
F#maj7 C# D#m C# F#
You might take and leave it
Fm G# C#
But love is all I am
Fm G#7 C#
Love is all I am
[Verse 3]
C#
I need a boundless, soft way to commend
C#
Like you as a temper, and I as it's tender end
D#m F#maj7 C#
And however long your fits last
D#m F#maj7 C#
I will live within your shadow cast
[Chorus]
F#maj7 C# D#m C# F#
And love is still your stranger
C#
It does not respect how much you'll stand
F#maj7 C# D#m C# F#
You might be love's reminder
Fm G# C# C#/F
But love is all I am
Fm G#7 C#
Love is all am
[Verse 4]
C#
I need a graceful, proud way to let go
C#
To smile and accept the things that you don't know
D#m F#maj7 C#
The losses and the gains blurred
D#m F#maj7 C#
The weight of these as last words
[Chorus]
F#maj7 C# D#m C# F#
And love is not excitement
C#
It's not kissing, or holding hands
F#maj7 C# D#m C# F#
I'm not some assignment
Fm G# C#
No, love is all I am
Fm G# C#
Love is all I am
Fm G#7 C#
Love is all I am
