When

Verse 1
D 
out walking, I recall
Me and my best girl, along the wall
In the long grass, side by side
Where the big ships go gliding by,
go gliding by
Skylark singing in the sun
Something told me she's the one
When I looked down into her eyes
I saw pictures of paradise
Oh, oh, paradise
G 
Every night you look so mean

Staring at your TV screen

Back when we were seventeen

The day got colder, time went by
Dark cloud rising into the sky
I just sat there gazing on
Like a tower of Babylon, of Babylon
I went wandering far from home
I left my good girl all on her own
I went back there, she got the power
See me through my darkest hour
My darkest hour, my darkest hour

Well, we'll keep turning,
all things change
Now you're sleeping, in your grave
In a lonely night time, I call your name
My tears are falling, I ain't ashamed
I ain't ashamed
C 
D 
Oh you're loving, it thrills me so I can't do with you,
I just can't go
There's a thousand highways,
you don't live twice
Only one road to paradise
To paradise, to paradise
