[Verse]
           Bm                                
Oh I raced head first down the old stone road
              G              
To the bridge outside Kilteel
           D                               
And I held my breath on that frosty morning
F#m                              
Dreaming maybe you're still there
              Bm                            
Now I know in my heart that the original sin
          G                  
Was never showing you my mind
                  D                          
'fore you crossed that sea you left this land
         F#m     F#m7  
And left my love behind


[Chorus]
Bm                    G     
■  But my heart's too honest
                            D
All my colours spilling out ■
                           F#m  Bm  
'cause I know you're all I want want
                          G
Have we missed our moment ■
                     D     
How could fate be so unfair
                           F#m  D   
'cause I know you're all I want want


[Verse]
       Bm                                     
Now my father stands in the middle of the road
       G                      
Saying Boy where have you been
            D                                    
You've been out all night chasing dogs and ghosts
         F#m                      D  
And this hill has taken down good men
F#m           Bm                 Bm7 D          
■   It's been dark so long she's so  damn bright
      G                         
I can barely get myself to leave
        D                               
I don't do this much no it's not like me
          F#m       F#m7         
He said I know just what you mean


[Chorus]
Bm7 Bm     Bm7         G     
■   But my heart's too honest
                        D  
All my colours spilling out
                                F#m 
'cause I know you're all I want want
Bm7 Bm                    G     
■   ■  Have we missed our moment
                            D
How could fate be so unfair ■
                         F#m  F#m7 Bm7
I know you're all I want want ■    ■  
G D        
■ Want want
  D                          
I know you're all I want want
F#m7 Bm7  G
Want want ■
D                          F#m 
■ I know you're all I want want


[Outro]
Bm7                                
I realize now there's a wolf inside
       G                   
That I dare not try to kill
      D                                   
I can change my path I can learn his heart
F#m                     F#m7
But I cannot change his will
Bm7                                
I watch her go on a long cold night
         G                       Gmaj7
I expect ■ she'll never leave my mind 
    D                                       
And I'll walk around broken sceptical hoping
    F#m7                         D
One day she'll return to my side ■
