A#m                             C#
Like a cat dragged in from the rain
         A#m                   C#             F#
Who goes straight back out and do i all over again
                 A#m  C#
I'll be back for more
A#m                           C#
Something that is out of our hands
A#m                C#         F#
Something we will never understand
              A#m C#
It's a hidden law

Chorus:
           G#
The apple falls
         F#
Destiny calls
         C# A#m C#
I follow you

Like a pawn on the eternal board
Who's never quite sure what he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me
(Heaven is in front of me)
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive it's gone

Chorus:
The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you

G#           F#
I'm yearning I'm burning
G#              F#          G#
I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night
I'm dying too

Chorus:
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you

I'm yearning, I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night
I'm dying too

Chorus:
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
