(Bm F#m D A Bm D F#m)
Bm                       D        E    Bm D E
They say the world's an eventful place
Bm                       D        E    Bm D E
You give me news I don't want to know
Bm           F#m          G               A
You say that I should care that I should speak
        Bm D E Bm D E
my mind
       F#m        D            A           Bm
Oh but how can I speak of the world rushing by
       D                      A           D
With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes
 E7     F#m          D       A          Bm
Have we come to the point of no turning back
         D                         A
Or is it still time to get into the
Bm D E Bm D E
swing of things
Bm                       D        E    Bm D E
Let us walk through this windless city
Bm                       D        E    Bm D E
I'll go on till the winter gets me
Bm           F#m          G
"Sleep..." you wrote "Sleep my dear"
A                       Bm D E Bm D E
in a letter somewhere
F#m        D            A
Oh but how can I sleep with your voice
Bm
in my head
D         A           D
And an ocean between us and room in my bed
E7     F#m          D       A
Have I come to the point where I'm
Bm
losing the grip
D               A
Or is it still time to get into the
Bm D E Bm D E
swing of things
Bm D E Bm D E D E
         F#m          D
When she glows in the dark
  A           Bm
and I'm weak by the sight
         D                      A           D
Of this breathtaking beauty in which I can hide
E7        F#m          D         A        Bm
There's a worldful out there of people I fear
          D
But given time
      A                D
I'll get into the swing of things
    E7       F#m          D
Yes when she glows in the dark
     A                         Bm
and I'm struck by the sight
  D
I know that I'll need this
    A          D        E7 F#m D A Bm
for the rest of my life
D A D - E7 F#m D A Bm - D A D
E7 F#m D A Bm  -  D A D - E7
F#m         D         A           Bm
What have I done what lies I have told
            D
I've played games with the ones
A                       D
that rescued my soul
E7     F#m         D
Have I come to the point
A               Bm
where I'm losing the grip
         D                 A
Or is it still time to get into
         D                 Bm
