Verse 1
A
The stars are out tonight
Em
The breeze is warm and light
G
D
A
As I'm walking right back to you
Along the dreaming road,
Em
G
the only way to go
D
When I'm traveling by our code,
A
that north is true
Once upon a time these same
Em
G
bright stars did shine
D
A
Down the center line leading here
Nearly thirty years ago
Em
A
Now the map is stained and old
D
A
But on the dreaming road the coast is clear

I loved you more than life and I guess
G
A
that's why I died
Bm
G
A
When you would not love me back,
G
A
G
I couldn't survive
A
And so the girl I was turned
Bm
G
into someone else
A
D
Keeping to myself an
A
d from the light
I wasn't odd or strange,
Bm

just quietly re arranged
A

Sometimes the biggest change stays

out of sight

Verse 2
A
Em
G
So without plot or clue I ran away from you
A
D
I was twenty- two and
A
drunk in Amsterdam
Got robbed in Paris, France
Bm
G
Got home on one last chance
A
D
And without a backward glance
A
I began again
And the days just kept on rolling
and I just kept on going
D
Without a thought of ever
A
slowing down
I made this long road mine
G
But it was not the dreaming kind
D
A
Too many lost souls trying to get found
Bm
G
A
But beneath this ancient sky
Bm
G
A
One night we did collide
G
And the hole I thought was
A
D
G
sealed opened wide
A
G
A
I tried so hard again
G
not to fall back in
D
Asus4
But you had me then by the throat
A
And a strange serenity
G
came washing over me
A
D
A
Almost peacefully I felt the rope

Verse 3
A
A million miles goes by in
Em
G
the blink of an eye
A
D
A
And so I cannot try to slow time down
And years are made of sand
Em
slipping through my hands
A
D
Even faster than the speed
A
of sound
The stars are out tonight
Em
G
The breeze is soft and light
D
A
As I'm walking right back to you
With nothing left to hide,
Bm
G
the tears have all been cried
A
D
And the girl who died is
A
Asus4
walking too
A
Down the dreaming road,
G
where the light is always gold
D
A
The air is never cold and always fine
And north is always true and
Bm
G
you are always you
D
A
And I'm that girl you knew once upon a time
