This is in my opinion the best written romantic song on this album, enjoy! D xx0232 C x32010 G 320033 Am x02210 F 133211 Em 022000 [Verse 1]
D             C            G
The curtain rises on the scene,

D             C            G
With someone chanting to be free

D             C            G
The play unfolds before my eyes,

D             C            G
There stands the actor who is me
[Verse 2]
D             C            G
The sleeping hours take us far,

D                C             G
Through traffic, telephones and fear

D              C               G
Put out your problems with the cat,

D         C             G
Escape until a bell you hear
[Chorus]
     Am
Our reasons are the same,

             G
But there's no one we can blame

              F
For there's nowhere we need go,

           E                           Am
When the only truth we know comes so easily

       C           G              Am
The sound I have heard in your hello,

Em       Fmaj7             Em
Oh darling, you're almost part of me,

         Fmaj7               Em
Oh darling, you're all I'll ever see

F Fm C
Ah...
[Verse 3]
D           C           G
It's such a rainy afternoon,

D           C         G
No point in going anywhere

D                  C              G
These sounds just drift across my room,

D            C               G
I wish this feeling I could share
[Verse 4]
D            C         G
It's such a rainy afternoon,

D            C                 G
She sits and gazes from her window

D             C              G
Her mind tries to recall his face,

D           C                G
The feeling deep inside her grows
[Chorus]
    Am
Our reasons are the same,

              G
But there's no one we can blame

               F
For there's nowhere we need go,

           E                           Am
When the only truth we know comes so easily

       C           G              Am
The sound I have heard in your hello,

Em       Fmaj7             Em
Oh darling, you're almost part of me,

         Fmaj7               Em
Oh darling, you're all I'll ever see

F Fm C
Ah...
