Finish it off when a few more last notes or by strumming the
variations of the C and Am chords the tabs make. Either way its
an amazing song by an amazing artist.

Sing along

My harbor has a boat in it
The water makes its way 'round it
When the sun shines down the hills the winds blow
I miss you more

You said I am young, and I am yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I am here and your heart
I was here from the start

The forests had a rock in it
Roots and animals were blocked by it
When they turned all their bones, changed to stone
They lost their faith

You said I am young, and I am yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I am here and your heart
Was here from the start

There when the rain came and settled on your skin
Not like before and you let it all in
To your heart was the only part
From the start you set upon

You said I am young, and I am yours
I am free, but I am flawed
I am here and your heart
Was here from the start
