[Intro] A A A D A D A D A [Verse 1]
       A               Asus2            A         Asus2
Well I left here in my sleep when I was dreaming

A               Asus2         A
Miles and miles away into a place,

A                          D
my heart was scheming an escape

     Dsus2 Asus4         A
That love  drew from me
[Verse 2]
      A              Asus2         A             Asus2
And I met you on the corner of the seasons

A               Asus2          A
Out of winter's reach and into summer's early sun

A              D
You were the moon

           Dsus2 Asus4  A
And I was only   seventeen
[Pre-Chorus]
        A                Asus2
And I'm making all these things

    A                      Asus2
And constructing all these scenes

        A                Asus2
And I'm stitching up the seams

       A
Of the fabric of my dreams

A       D
And I'm here in my boat

        Dsus2         Asus4
And I'm roaring up to shore as you sing
[Chorus]
         A
Well I'm ringing all the bells from my lighthouse dear

A
Time is just an ocean and you're almost here

Asus2       A
One for the mind

Asus2       A
Two for the soul

Asus2         A            A          D
Three for the body and the heart that knows, that knows

A               Asus2      A
I'll never ever let you go
[Interlude] A A A D A D A D A [Verse 3]
   A            Asus2       A            Asus2
Oh silence, the silence are ringing your bells

A           Asus2       A
Singing the words in a whisper

A                D
Dispell all this noise

               Dsus2
Bring back the joy

Asus4
Ring the world awake
[Verse 4]
                   A            Asus2        A     Asus2
'Cause if the only hole that we have is your world apart

         A            Asus2      A
And it's separate and broken and stained from the start

              D         Dsus2        Asus4
My heart will remain and     take it anyway
[Chorus]
         A
Well I'm ringing all the bells from my lighthouse dear

A
Time is just an ocean and you're almost here

Asus2       A
One for the mind

Asus2       A
Two for the soul

Asus2         A            A          D
Three for the body and the heart that knows, that knows

A               Asus2      A
I'll never ever let you go
[Chorus]
         A
Well I'm ringing all the bells from my lighthouse dear

A
Time is just an ocean and you're almost here

Asus2       A
One for the mind

Asus2       A
Two for the soul

Asus2         A            A          D
Three for the body and the heart that knows, that knows

A               Asus2      A
I'll never ever let you go
