[Intro] | 1--2--3--4-- | 1--2--3--4-- |
| C | F F/G |
| C | F F/G | [Verse 1] C F F/G The light came through the window, C F F/G straight from the sun above, Dm7 G and so inside my little room Dm7 G C there plunged the rays of love.
[Verse 2]
C F F/G In streams of light I clearly saw, C F F/G the dust you seldom see, Dm7 G out of which the nameless makes, Dm7 G C a name for one like me.
[Chorus]
F G I'll try to say a little more, C F love went on and on Dm7 E until it reached an open door F G C C then love itself, love itself was gone.
[Verse 3]
C F F/G All busy in the sunlight, C F F/G the flecks did float and dance; Dm7 G and I was tumbled up with them Dm7 G C in formless circumstance.
[Chorus]
F G I'll try to say a little more, C F love went on and on Dm7 E until it reached an open door F G C C then love itself, love itself was gone.
[Bridge]
F G Then I came back from where I'd been, Am Am my room, it looked the same; Dsus4 D but there was nothing left between Gsus4 G the nameless and the name.
[Verse 3] (Reprise)
C F F/G All busy in the sunlight, C F F/G the flecks did float and dance; Dm7 G and I was tumbled up with them Dm7 G C in formless circumstance.
[ENd-Chorus]
F G I'll try to say a little more, C F love went on and on Dm7 E until it reached an open door F G C C then love itself, love itself was gone. F G*** G* Love itself, love itself was C F F/G C F F/G C gone.
