G#m                     G#m/B
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
Emaj7                         D#
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
G#m                    G#m/B
And though a million stars were shining
Emaj7                           D#
My heart was lost on a distant planet
G#m                     G#m/B
That whirls around the April moon
Emaj7                  D#
Whirling in an arc of sadness
G#m                  G#m/B     D#                    D#aug
I'm lost without you      I'm lost without you
Emaj7                  C#m7
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
    G#dim7         D#
And fall into the sea
    G#m          G#m/F#    E        D# G#m
I'm mad about you     I'm mad about you

And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer?
How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you
I'm mad about you

B                        E7
And I have never in my life
                    G#sus4
Felt more alone than I do now
A                              E
Although I claim dominions over all I see
B/D#
It means nothing to me
             C#m7
There are no victories
           G#dim7              D#  D#7
In all our histories, without love

A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you   I'm lost without you

And though you hold the keys to ruin
Of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you
I'm mad about you
