Sarah McLachlan

^{Em D/G Dsus2 Em9 Em/A D/A C G D/C Am}
(Just piano first time)
I ^Em Love the time and ^D/G in between, ^Dsus2 The ^Em calm inside me
in the space where ^D/G I can breath ^Dsus2 e. I believe ^Em9 there is a
^Em distance I have ^D/G wandered to ^Dsus2 touch up no the ye ^Em ars of
^Em Reaching out ^G , and re ^Dsus2 aching in
^Em Holdin ^G g out, ^D Holdin ^C g in.
(acoustic guitar comes in on 1st Am7)
^Am7 I ^D believe ^Em9 this is Hea ^Em/A ven ^D/A to ^Am7 no one else ^D but me.
^Em9 And I'll de ^Em/A fend it ^D/A long as ^Am7 I ^D can be
^Em Left here to ^D linger in si ^Am7 lence
If I choos ^D e to would you try ^Am7 to understand? ^D
I ^Em know this love is ^D/G passing time, ^D passing through like li ^C quid
^Em I'm ^G drunk in my desire ^D/C
C But I ^Em love the way you ^G smile at me,
I ^D love the way your hand ^C s reach out and
^Em Hold ^G me near.
^D I ^C bel ^G ieve ^D I ^C
Am I ^D believe ^Em this is heaven to ^Am no one else ^D but me, ^Em
And I'll defend it long as ^Am I ^D can be
^Em Left here to linger in s ^Am ilence,
If I choose ^D to would you tr ^Am y to understand?
^Em Oh, the ^D/G quiet child ^D awaits the day when she ^C can break free
^Em the mold that ^G clings like desper ^D ation. ^{D/C C
Em} Mother can't you ^G see I've got to
^D live my life the way I ^C feel is ^Em right ^G for me
^D Might not be rig ^C ht for you, but its
^G Right ^D for me, ^C oh. ^Am
I ^D believe ^Em this is Heaven to ^Am no one else ^D but me.
^Em And I'll defend it long as ^Am I ^D can be
^Em Left here to linger in si ^Am lence
If I ch ^D oose to would you t ^Am ry to understa ^D nd?
^Am I would like to lin ^D ger here in s ^Am ilence if I ch ^D oose to,
Would you u ^Am nderstand ^D it?
The song fades out repeating that last line.
Sometime around the last chorus, the guitar stops playing chords and
plays this:

This is played twice and then the guitar goes into the outro. Listen to
the album closely for the timing of this part, its kinda buried in the
piano parts.
When playing this song alone on acoustic guitar, just ignore this part
and play the straight chords listed above.
Hope thiss is all you need to play this rather spiffy song.
Enjoy, and email me with amy comments!
