      F          C          Dm
As I watch you flickering slowly
In the shadows, nothing to hold
It's as if I don't recall our time before
And would it be so wrong
Not to remember?
There are times I look at you differently
Like I'd never seen you before
Funny after all we've done
You could be someone

Chorus:
          F  C  D
I don't know at all
             F  C  D A# F
Don’t know you at all
 C                       Gm
Catch me I don’t want to fall

But you pull the mountain from under me
Look, I'm dangling up in the blue
And it's a cartoon coyote eternity
Before I drop down to you
What am I supposed to do now?
There is something beautiful shining
In the far-off night of your hair
Funny for a while it seemed to come from the sky

Chorus:
         F    C   D
But it’s in your head
        F     C    D
Yes it fills your head
A#              F
You and I don’t always fly
 C                   Gm
Let me go I want to fall

               A#
Deep into the dark
    Dm        C       A#
But I’ll get back to you
          F       C          D
And I’ll always know how to find you
            F             C        D
Cause you shine like the midnight sun
