I Was There by The War on Drugs (off Slave Ambient)
Intro: F G F G (x2)
Verse:
F G
Come on baby, hold me close
F
Let me do my best to both,
G
let me ride, let it roll
F G
I was there to catch a man
F
I thought I had him by the hand
G
I only had him by the glove
Bridge: F G F G
Verse:
F G
Come on baby, let me in
F
You can show yourself to him
G
You can show me through the doors
F G
And I was there, catching air
F
Thought I had him by the hand
G
I only had him by the glove
F G
We was there, in the road
F
Picking diamonds from a tree
G
Heard a wolf coming through
F G
Coming through and coming hard,
F
Tried to leave the heat and gone
G
Tried to lean against the wall
Bridge: F G F G (x2)
Verse:
F G
I'll be there, coming clean
F
Like a runner in the wind
G
Coming through the morning light
F G
Rising in, in the stone
F
Tried to leave the heat at home
G
Running through the morning dim
F G
And I was there, to catch a man
F
Thought I had him by the hand
G
I only had him by the glove
F G
Come on baby, let me close
F
Let me do my best to both
G
Run through but cut close
Bridge: F G F G
Verse:
F G
Come on baby, let me in
F
You can show yourself to him
G
Ride the road, ride it rough
F G
Yeah in the day I was gone,
F
Tried to leave the heat at home
G
Run through and run the road
F G
I was there, coming clean
F
Like a runner in the wind
G
Coming through the morning light
F G
You'll be there, on the floor
F
Picking diamonds from a stone
G
Looking through the totem pole
