If I could wave my magic wand...
C Bbsus2 F (x2) [Verse 1]
C    Bbsus2        F
I am made from the dust of the stars

        C      Bbsus2     F
And the oceans flow in my veins

C      Bbsus2      F
Here I hide in the heart of the city

       C               Bbsus2    F
Like a stranger coming out of the rain
D Dsus4 Bm A [Verse 2]
    C       Bbsus2      F
The evening plane rises up from the runway

C    Bbsus2            F
Over constellations of light

C      Bbsus2      F
I look down into a million houses

    C                  Bbsus2    F
And wonder what you're doing tonight

I'm not one with a sense of proportion

G       A                   G
When my heart still changes overnight
[Verse 3] C Bbsus2 F
C       Bbsus2     F
I had a dream of a winter garden

  C        Bbsus2     F
A midnight rendezvous

C       Bbsus2   F
Silver, blue and frozen silence

       C      Bbsus2     F
What a fool I was for you
D Dsus4 Bm A [Verse 4]
C       Bbsus2       F
I had a dream of the open water

      C         Bbsus2     F
I was swimming away out to sea

   C            Bbsus2      F
So deep I could never touch bottom

What a fool I used to be

Though my memory has a second sight

When I radiate more heat than light
