The Treasure – By D. Montgomery © 2015
Intro: C      G C      F
C                 F
When he looks at you,
             C        G
he can't see what I see,
            C         F
and when he looks at you,
          C        G
he looks right through,
        F               C
and he doesn’t see the flower,
F                C
cannot see your bloom,
F                 Am            Em            
cannot see the treasure that is you.
CHORUS
F                                           C
I've seen you hold you hold your father's glasses,
F                              C
I've seen you swim the rivers wide,
F                                       AM                     G         G7
I've seen you run through fields so broken... to reach the other side and...
F                            c                  F               C
You can run on tired for infinity, or you can stay here next to me.
        F                  C                               G7          G
You can chase until the sun goes down, but I would never leave.

C                 F
When I look your way,
             C        G
I can't know how to say,
         C         F
when I look at you,
         C        G
it's all I can do,
        F               C
to keep myself from singing,
      F                C
to sing of your sweet face,
F                 Am        Em    
dappled in white satin and lace.
Alt Chorus /Ending
        F                  C                               G7          G
You can chase until the sun goes down, but I would never leave.
        F                  C               Am                G7          G
You can chase until the sun goes down, but I would never leave.
F                                 C
I’ve seen you hold your fathers ashes,
F                           C
I’ve seen you swim rivers wide,
F                                    AM                     G         G7
I’ve seen you run through fields so broken to my arms on the other side.
F                       C           AM               C
Here you’ll find your rest now. Sleep sweet darling sleep,
F                     C                G            G7
I’ll hold you until morning and your secrets I will keep…
F                     C                G            C
I’ll hold you until morning and your secrets I will keep…
