D                      A
Strange face, with your eyes

   G         D
So pale and sincere.

D                   A
Underneath you know well

G               D
  You have nothing to fear.

G              D          G            D
  For the dreams that came to you when so young

G     D
  Told of a life

C/E       D
    Where spring is sprung.
[NOW LOOK AT THIS]
Am                         C  G  E
Mhhhh   Mhh mh mh mh mh mh mh mh Mhhhhhhhh  (x2)
Now just do the chord "A,",after the chord "E",to better link the next singed part
D                  A
You would seem so frail

       G           D
In the cold of the night

         D         A
When the armies of emotion

G           D
  Go out to fight.

G          D         G              D
  But while the earth sinks to its grave

G        D
  You sail to the sky

C/E                   D
    On the crest of a wave.
[And again]
Am                         C  G  E
Mhhhh   Mhh mh mh mh mh mh mh mh Mhhhhhhhh  (x2)

D                     A
So forget this cruel world

G       D
Where I belong

          D       A
I'll just sit and wait

G         D
  And sing my song.

G           D               G             D
  And if one day you should see me in the crowd

G               D
  Lend a hand and lift me

C/E              D
    To your place in the cloud.
[LAST TIME]
Am                         C  G  E
Mhhhh   Mhh mh mh mh mh mh mh mh Mhhhhhhhh  (x2)
