....................... E7 --------------------------------
When I want to kill the lights on this lack of make believe

saying it's not right for me
------------------------- E7 --------------------------------
And I say give me back my road, with its lack of common sense
---------------------- A ------------ (riff) -- A7
and the sense that any-thing could be
------------------------ D --------------------------- A ----

-------------------------------- A
And try not to see what it could be

And if we woke up and we found that all we'd shared had been a dream
------------------------ A ------------
and the bell had rung to bring us round
------------------- E7 ------------------
I couldn't bear the pain that would cause
----------------------------------------- A -------- (riff) -- A7
'cause I love you more than anything I've ever found
------------------------- D --------------------
But if love had ceased to grow and you had to go
------------------ A ----------
And take your time away from me
............................ E7 -----------------------------
I hope I'd love the precious time that we had for what it was
----------------------------- A --
turn on the light and set you free
