D#m F# G# D#m F# G#
They say the world's an eventful place
D#m F# G# D#m F# G#
You give me news I don't want to know
D#m A#m B C#
You say that I should care that I should speak
D#m F# G# D#m F# G#
my mind
A#m F# C# D#m
Oh but how can I speak of the world rushing by
F# C# F#
With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes
G#7 A#m F# C# D#m
Have we come to the point of no turning back
F# C#
Or is it still time to get into the
D#m F# G# D#m F# G#
swing of things
D#m F# G# D#m F# G#
Let us walk through this windless city
D#m F# G# D#m F# G#
I'll go on till the winter gets me
D#m A#m B
"Sleep..." you wrote "Sleep my dear"
C# D#m F# G# D#m F# G#
in a letter somewhere
A#m F# C#
Oh but how can I sleep with your voice
D#m
in my head
F# C# F#
And an ocean between us and room in my bed
G#7 A#m F# C#
Have I come to the point where I'm
D#m
losing the grip
F# C#
Or is it still time to get into the
D#m F# G# D#m F# G#
swing of things
D#m F# G# D#m F# G# F# G#
A#m F#
When she glows in the dark
C# D#m
and I'm weak by the sight
F# C# F#
Of this breathtaking beauty in which I can hide
G#7 A#m F# C# D#m
There's a worldful out there of people I fear
F#
But given time
C# F#
I'll get into the swing of things
G#7 A#m F#
Yes when she glows in the dark
C# D#m
and I'm struck by the sight
F#
I know that I'll need this
C# F# G#7 A#m F# C# D#m
for the rest of my life
F# C# F# G#7 A#m F# C# D#m F# C# F#
G#7 A#m F# C# D#m F# C# F# G#7
A#m F# C# D#m
What have I done what lies I have told
F#
I've played games with the ones
C# F#
that rescued my soul
G#7 A#m F#
Have I come to the point
C# D#m
where I'm losing the grip
F# C#
Or is it still time to get into
F# D#m
The swing of things
