D                  G
Baby when I put my mind to it
  D                 G
I slip into another gear
      D                 G
And I travel in another syncopation
     D                 G
When all I wanna be is here with you
And

[Chorus]
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be true to you cross my fin- gers
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be good to you cross my fin- gers
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be true to you cross my fin- gers

[Interlude]
D D D Dsus2 D Dsus4 Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 x4

[Verse 2]
D               G
Sure as a snake along the river
D                  G
Sure as a ghost is in the trees
D                  G
There is a promise love delivers
D                     G
Even though you never promised me

[Chorus]
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be true to you cross my fin- gers
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be good to you cross my fin- gers
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be true to you cross my fin- gers

A
I wanna    stay, 'til my thoughts are o     kay
        G                             Bm
'Til my motive is    clear, 'cause im driftin a     way
         A                               E
From the weight of your  arms, from your soft feather  bed
     D          G             D       A     D
To a cold white line down the highway in my head

[Verse 3]
D                        G
All our little tears are icicles
D                        G
Hangin' on the telephone lines
D                                 G
And I call you up through all the cracklin' static
D                       G
I swear I only hear you half the time
D                      G
No matter how I try to hold you baby
D                     G
You only seem to slip away from me
D                         G
And then we're walkin out along the ocean
D                            G
Or swimmin like the dolphins out to sea

[Outro]
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be true to you cross my fin- gers
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be good to you cross my fin- gers
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be true to you cross my fin- gers
G       A       G   Dsus4 D  Dsus D
I'll be good to you cross my fin- gers
