G
As you watch from your house on the hill
World keeps spinning around you
you're standing still
                                  F
And a thought rivers enters your mind
 G
Something happened once in my life
A fading picture of you that's so hard to describe
                                F
I've been where the sun never shines

Chorus:
          Am                                F
That's alright there's a change in the story
          Am
That's alright there's a change in the plan
                F
A twist in the tale

Face in the mirror head in the clouds
Hanging on to a dream that you can't do without
As it drops like a stone without trace
Give what you want take what you need
Squeezing so hard there's no room to breathe
And your flavour has fallen from grace

Chorus:

Bm
I saw you dancing
Dancing on air
You were lost in the in the starlight
                      Em
No one but me really cared

Every question turns out a lie
Can't you swallow the truth
for once in your life
I loved you but don't ask me why

Chorus - x2
