(Original Key: B)


Intro:

G  F#m (x2)

Verse 1:

D             E
 As the light hits you,
D               G
 As you shift a-long the floor.

Bridge 1:

D          Am            A
 I find it hard to place my face.
D          Am              A
 How did I come to be here anyway?
D              Am            G           F#m
 It's terribly vague; what's gone before.

Verse 2:

D                  E
 I could have been anyone,
D                        G
 You could have been any-one's dream.

Bridge 2:

D            Am                 A
 Why did you have to choose our moment?
D            Am              A
 Why did you have to make me feel that?
D            Am                 F#m
 Why did you make it so unreal?

Chorus 1:

Bm      A     E         D
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again,
Bm      A     E         D
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again.
D       A     E         D         Bm        A
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again.

Bm      A     E         D
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again,
Bm      A     E         D
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again.
D       A     E         D         Bm        A
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again.

Interlude:

G  F#m (x2), A

Verse 3:

D                     E
 All the colours look brighter now,
D                     G
 Everything, they say seems to sound new.

Bridge 3:

D            Am          A
 Slipping in-to tomorrow too quick,
D          Am         A
 Yesterday always too good to forget.
D         Am                 G           F#m
 Stop the swing of the pendu-lum; let us through!

Chorus 3:

Bm      A     E         D
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again,
Bm      A     E         D
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again.
D       A     E         D         Bm        A
 Oh! to be in love, and never get out again.
