LET ME INTO YOUR HEART (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
----------------------------------------------
[Actually in C; capo 5.]
[Each chord is two beats.]

G  C  G  C    G  C  G  C
[intro]

              G          C      G       C
You're like a cool breeze to a hot spell
              G         C       G     C
You're like a long drink to a dry well
     C        C           C        C
Oh I know by now, there's no use thinking
          G                 C     G           C
That it's something in that water I've been drinking
        D          D        D7         D7
Cause I would not need even one more drop
         G           C          G    C
If you'd just let me into your heart

You're like a blue sky to a gray day
You're like a new try to an old way
Oh, I never needed much convincing
'Bout that something in my life that's been missing
But I think I know where to find that part
If you'd just let me into your heart

           C         C        G       G
I've got a past baby, now who doesn't
        C          C            G      G
I won't ask you to think that I wasn't
      Em         Em   Em         Em
Who I was back then,  yes it's true
    A          A    D7           D7
But that was when I didn't know you

You're like a sweet sight to these tired eyes
You're like the first light after a long night
Oh I never believed in the hands of fate
But to be with you, baby, I believe I'd wait
Till the end of time for a chance to start
If you'd just let me into your heart

C   C   G   G     C   C   G   G
[instrumental]
Em  Em  Em  Em    A   A   D7  D7
[instrumental]

              G    [stop] (C)       G        C
You're like a sweet smile to these tired eyes
                G        C      G        C
You're like the last mile on a long ride
     C         C           C#dim    C#dim   [you can sub A7 for C#dim]
Oh I never believed in the arms of fate
       G           G/F#         Em         Em
But to be in yours darling, I believe I'd wait
         D       D         D7          D7
Till the end of time for a chance to start
         G           C          G    C
If you'd just let me into your heart
         D       D         D       D
Till the end of time, baby I can start
         G           C          G    C
If you'd just let me into your heart

G  C  G  C    G  C  G  C    G  C  G.
