G#m
Where you are seems to be
   C#m
As far as an eternity
F#
Outstretched arms, open hearts
    D#m
And if it never ends, then when do we start?

G#m                    C#
I'll never leave you behind
                F#
Or treat you unkind
                 D#m
I know you understand
G#m                   C#
And with a tear in my eye
                         F#
Give me the sweetest goodbye
       Cdim7
That I ever did receive

Chorus:
 B                A#
Pushing forward and arching back
D#m               Cdim7
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you come back
I have some things to say
How does it feel to know
you never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be someplace here
that only you and I could go
So I can show you how I...

Dream away everyday
Try so hard to disregard
The rhythm of the rain that drops
And coincides with the beating of my heart

I'll never leave you behind
Or treat you unkind
I know you understand, yeah, yeah, yeah
And with a tear in my eye
Give me the sweetest goodbye
That I ever, ever, ever did receive

Chorus:
Pushing forward and arching back
Bring me closer to heart attack
Say goodbye and just fly away
When you come back
I have some things to say, yeah
How does it feel to know you
never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be someplace here
that only you and I could go
So I can show you how
I feel, feel, feel, feel

How does it feel to know you
never have to be alone
When you get home?
There must be someplace here
that only you and I could go
So I can show you how
I feel, feel, feel, feel
There must be someplace
here that only you and I could go
So I can show you how
I feel, feel, feel, feel
