Verse 1
G 
D 
When I want to kill the lights on
Am 
D 
this lack of make believe,
Am 
G 
saying it's not right for me
Am 
And I say give me back my road,
D 
with its lack of common sense
Am 
D 
G 
and the sense that anything could be
C 
Wish my heart was wide awake to
G 
every second spent together
Then I would surely see to
D 
Am 
night for what it was
D 
G 
And try not to see what it could be

Verse 2
D 
Though I know that only love
Am 
can set you free
D 
When it falls to me,
G 
I'm not the best example
D 
And if the prophets knocked my door with
Am 
D 
all that heaven held in store,
G 
I'd probably ask to see a sample
C 
But I can feel you in my arms,
right here on earth
G 
And it's like I'm with an angel
D 
That's when you wish I'd see the life
Am 
D 
that you've lived for what it was
G 
And not just what I want to see

Verse 3

Wish my unhappiness could

be addressed and sent

To all the rootless,

fruitless hours that I have spent in dreams

Verse 4
D 
And if we woke up and we found that all
Am 
D 
we shared had been a dream
G 
and the bell had rung to bring
us round
D 
I couldn't bear the pain that would cause,
Am 
D 
'cause I  love you more than
G 
anything I've ever found
But if love had ceased to
C 
grow and you had to go
G 
And take your time away from me
D 
I hope I'd love the precious time
Am 
D 
that we had for what it was,
Am 
D 
turn on the light and set you free
