D                           A     G 
First warm day in all these months 
D                         A 
All the sunlight made me  drunk 
G                          D 
Made me feel like I could  run 
                         A     G 
Made me feel like I was  young  
D                        A   G 
So I went out all on my  own 
D                         A 
I told no one where'd I'd go 
G                 D                          A 
Anyway I did not  know I only knew I had to  go 
G                   D 
Out beyond the iron gate 
Bm                  G    A     D      D  A  D  A 
Out there where you said you'd wait 
D                      A     G 
Gotten used to living here 
D                      A 
Call it habit  call it fear 
G                                 D 
Though I had glanced your way for years 
                       A     G  
Til today  I'd never dared  
D                        A      G 
But it was easy slipping through 
D                   A 
Easy as the morning dew 
G                            D 
That lingers til the afternoon 
                        A 
And rises back into the blue 
G                    D 
Out beyond the iron  gate 
Bm                  G     A     D     D  A  D  A  
Out there where you said  you'd wait 
 
SOLO 
 
D                           A   G 
There you were right by my side 
D                         A 
Reaching down to lift me  high 
G                      D 
I held on with all my  might 
                        A 
Held on to a world made right 
G                   D  
Out beyond the iron gate 
Bm                   G    A     D    D  A  D  A 
Out there where you  said you'd wait 
D                   A      D                      A 
I heard voices all around  Someone lifted off the shroud 
G                         D 
I saw my children gather  round  
                             A 
Now I will tell them what I found 
G                   D 
Out beyond the iron gate 
Bm                   G    A     D    D  A   D  A 
Out there where you  said you'd wait 
 
SOLO
