Comes calling back, a brilliant night, 
    DO          SIb   DO
I'm still awake
  MIm               MIb            DO    SIb  LAm
I looked ahead, I'm sure I saw you there
    MIm              MIb
You don't need me to tell you now 
     DO             SIb   DO
that nothing can compare

Now life is sweet,

and what it brings I tried to take
    MIm            MIb                   
But loneliness, it wears me out, 
   DO           SIb  DO
it lies in wait
    MIm                   
And all not lost, still in my eye
MIb                          
Shadow of necklace across your thigh
           DO 
I might've lived my life in a dream, 
           SIb           LAm   
but I swear, this is real
MIm                       
Memory fuses and shatters like glass
   MIb 
Mercurial future, forget the past
     DO              SIb  DO
It's you, it's what I feel
