Come here darling, lay [C] down by my [G] side [C] The big [G] stars falling, the moon will turn the
tide The
[D] whistle of the [G] wind will lead us [C] on
Here we [Am] are, [G] not too [C] far [G]
for the dawn
Pictures keep on falling [C] from [G] the walls [C] The ghosts are still careening through [G] the
[C] [G] hall
[D] The drunken neighbor [G] sings his favorite [C] song
In the [Am] stardust [G] [C] of the night before the [G] dawn
You [D] never really [G] know just who your [C] friends are
[D] Till you find out [G] at last who they [C] are not
You [Am] never [G] recognize the things [C] you really want
Till you [Am] remember all [C] the dreams that you [D] forgot
We've [G] been running for so long [C]
against [G] the grain
Tried [C] to find a way to turn around [G] again
The
[D] trouble in [G] your heart will soon [C] be gone
This lonely [Am] blue [C] is only true for the [G] [Am] dawn

Come here darling, lay down by my side
[C] The big stars falling, the moon will turn [G] the tide
The [D] whistle of [G] the wind will lead [C] us on
Here we [A] are, not [Em] too [C] far for the [G] dawn
Well here [Am] we are, not [C] too far for [G] the dawn
