[B] [A] [B] [D] [E] [D] [A] [F#]
I, I've [E] seen the glory [B] of the sacred [C#] [E] wonderkind
[F#] You took [E] me behind [B] a [C#] disused railway [E] line
And [F#] said I know [E] a place where we can [B] go
Where [D#] we are not [Em] known
And [F#] you gave me [E] something that I won't [B] forget too [C#] soon
[E] That [B] I can't believe you'd ever [D] care
And this is why [C] you will never [F#] know
[B] You choose to take [A] time
[B] I know that [F#m] I'm the most [B] normal bug [A] ever [D] fed
[A]
[Bm] [E] [F#] [E] I'm [B] spellbound by [C#] that woman's [E] [F#] advice
To jam the hills to [E] the live with sell of the [B] prize
[C#] But [E] [F#] you know where [E] you came from
You know where [B] you're going
And you know [C#] where you belong
[F#] [E] You said I would dare and you [B] were not wrong
[C#] [B] But I can't believe you'd ever [D] care
[E] And this is [D] why you [A] will never [F#] know
[B] You choose to take [A]
time
[B] I know that [F#] I'm the most [B] normal bug ever [A]
[Bm] fed
[A] [Bm] [E] [F#]
[C#m] All [E] the [B] alcoholic [C#] afternoons
[E] When we chat in [F#] your room
[E] They meant more to [B] me than [C#] any
[E] Than any [A] living thing on [F#] [E] earth
They had more [B] worth than [C#] any
[E] Living thing [F#] on [E] earth On earth [B] On [C#] earth
[E] Ah
[B] You [D] [E] [D] [A]
[F#] [B] [A] [B] will leave me behind
You will leave me [C#] behind
