I Am I

F
   Wish I was young
Am
   in 69,
F
   When Bowie sang
C
   of space and time
F
   Wish I knew more
Am
   in 85
F
   When Kate said: God,
C       Dm            | | |
   I'll take your side


[VERSE 1]
Am                   G             F    | |
All my heroes are singing from the grave
   Am                G       C   F      | |
Forgotten songs on a lost airwave
Am                G           F         | |
Love can fade but music never dies
       Am                               G     C   Dm | |
It can save you from yourself, make you feel alive

[VERSE 2]
Am                G           F
Radio silence, darkness in my room
         Am
When the night is here upon us,
         G                C          | F | |
will you hold me like you used to do?
    Am            G                 F | |
Not sentimental, I just want to feel
               Am
And when I hold  you in the light
         G              C   Dm | |
you will always make it real

   Something sometime

Stay for a while, can I make you stay for a while?
C                                    F
Stay for a while, can I make you stay for a while?
  Am                        C
I always felt that you understood,
               F
can I make you stay for a while?
  Am                     C/G

will you keep me safe  for a while?
