Em G
Once a while
D
I see what's going on
Am
And disappear
G D G Em
Into the world behind the one that's here
G
It never lasts
D
As long as a dream can last
Am
And then I'm back
G
Into the ways
D G Em
That make the days go fast
Am Em Am Em
So grab my hand and make it last
D Am Em
And hold me close
D
Don't leave so soon
Am G
Let all the flowers bloom
D Am Em
And don't let go
D
Or I will blow
Am Em
Away into a different room
G
Is it so strange?
D
Tell me you feel the same
Am
Or shut my mouth
G D G Em
I can't pretend I haven't said it now
G
Let's just pretend
D
Our numbered days won't end
Am
Infinity
G D G D
This endless space and time four you and me
Am Em Am Em
And yours and mine, forever we
D Am Em
Will hold me close
D
Don't leave so soon
Am G
Let all the flowers bloom
D Am Em D
And don't let go or I will blow
Am Em
Away into a different room
Am C Em D
And there's no door to get me back, to get me back there
Am C Em D
There's no window to see
Am C Em D
I tell myself that it was no, that it was nowhere
Am C Em D
And all becomes a dream
D Am Em
Hold me close
D
Don't leave so soon
Am G
Let all the flowers bloom
D Am Em D
And don't let go or I will blow
Am Em G
Away into a different room
