[Intro] G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5 [Verse 1]
G/B     Csus2     F6sus2      G5        G/B   Csus2       G5
Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out,

G/B     Csus2     F6sus2        G5
oh lovely dreamer, magic prince,

 G/B          Csus2              G5
come and swoop you up, swoop you up.

G/B     Csus2     F6sus2        G5
but now no I, just might guess,

 G/B          Csus2              G5
man at all, i'll grow up, I came your way.

G/B     Csus2     F6sus2        G5
nobody so special, will dream us away,

 G/B          Csus2              G5
nobody to sweep you away,

G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5   G/B       Csus2    G5
and oh light,              oh light come and lift me up.
[Verse 2]
G/B      Csus2  F6sus2     G5
Oh light please, come lift me up,

 G/B       Csus2       G5
oh sweet light come lift me up,

G/B      Csus2       F6sus2            G5
when you go down, remember your steps as a baby,

G/B     Csus2          G5
remembering how you walked,

G/B       Csus2        F6sus2      G5
remembering all the sweetest dreamin' you did,

G/B   Csus2   G5
while you tick-tack alone.

G/B      Csus2    F6sus2     G5
Now all gone, there's nothin' left,

G/B        Csus2         G5
but your dream I wrote in a song.

G/B       Csus2     F6sus2       G5
Just like the bent back of an old woman,

G/B      Csus2     F6sus2      G5
you know it's all gone and severed alone,

G/B   Csus2   G5
and so I rhyme.
[Instrumental] G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5 [Verse 3]
G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5
So now all your secrets,

G/B        Csus2         G5
they all look the same as all inside,

G/B           Csus2      F6sus2            G5
she feels swallowed up, oh she feels tired as she could,

G/B       Csus2         G5
but creepin' will roll us along.
[Verse 4]
G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5
But it's all over, oh,

 G/B   Csus2   G5
it's all alone, so long,

G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5
oh Lucy's alone,

 G5   G/B   Csus2   G5
sweet Lucy loves the way of the world,

G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5   G/B   Csus2   G5
like the bent back of an old woman.
[Instrumental] G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5 X2 [Verse 5]
G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5   G/B   Csus2   G5
Why soon,                  this way ?

G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5   G/B   Csus2   G5
Why soon,               my way ?
[Verse 6]
G/B       Csus2        F6sus2   G5
I came cryin' till you came, upon my knees,

 G/B       Csus2     G5
beggin father lift me up please,

G/B       Csus2       F6sus2      G5
but no, answer came down, oh flower child,

 G/B     Csus2      G5
just emptiness inside of me.
[Verse 7]
G/B      Csus2        F6sus2     G5
Oh light lift me up, please lift me up,

 G/B   Csus2   G5
come down and pick me away.

G/B     Csus2   F6sus2   G5
Forgive me all my selfish ways,

 G/B       Csus2         G5
sweet light pick me up from my misery.
[Verse 8]
G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5
Why, do I come back to you,

G/B   Csus2   G5
the way, I do,

G/B   Csus2  F6sus2   G5
the way, I picture you,

G/B   Csus2   G5
in the way that I picture you.
