[Intro] Dsus4 F Am7 Dsus2 [Verse 1]
Fmaj7                                         Dsus2
Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away

Fmaj7                                         Dsus2
While the spirits come and go without a sound

Fmaj7                                    Dsus4          F            Am7          Dsus2
And just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7                                         Dsus2
There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me

 Fmaj7                                         Dsus2
I don't ever hang my soul out on the line

Fmaj7                                    Dsus4          F            Am7          Dsus2
When the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                             Fmaj7     C/G       Dsus2
There's a light in the city, that comes down from above

Fmaj7                             Fmaj7     C/G       Dsus2
Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove

Fmaj7                             Fmaj7     C/G       Dsus2
Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love

Fmaj7                                 C/G            G7sus2   Dsus4 F Am7  Dsus2  Dsus4 F Am7  Dsus2
You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7                                         Dsus2
Now you once asked me why we can't communicate

Fmaj7                                         Dsus2
But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth

Fmaj7                                    Dsus4          F            Am7          Dsus2
If I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away home
[Verse 4]
Fmaj7                                         Dsus2
So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away

Fmaj7                                         Dsus2
While the spirits come and go without a sound

Fmaj7                                    Dsus4          F            Am7          Dsus2
Yeah just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home
[Chorus]
Fmaj7                             Fmaj7     C/G       Dsus2
There's a light in the city, that comes down from above

Fmaj7                             Fmaj7     C/G       Dsus2
Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove

Fmaj7                             Fmaj7     C/G       Dsus2
Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love

Fmaj7                                 C/G            G7sus2   Dsus4 F Am7  Dsus2  Dsus4 F Am7  Dsus2
You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
