View chords used in this chart
C#5 A#5
In a lighthouse by the sea, at the 33rd degree,
F#5 A#5
you'll make me feel so special and free.
C#5 A#5 F#5
But there's something in the air, turning stutters into stares,
A#5
I'll look into your blue eyes and say:
C#5 D#5 A#5 C#5 D#5 A#5
Darling, don't throw it all away, I'm here to make you stay with me.
C#5 A#5 F#5 A#5
In this sun I look so pale, northern skin so thin and frail,
C#5 A#5 F#5 A#5
but I try to close my eyes, when everything starts fading.
C#5 A#5 F#5 A#5
When I wake up from this dream, shivering under cold sheets,
C#5 A#5 F#5 A#5
then thousand miles away, I'll wish I was on king street.
C#5 D#5 A#5 C#5 D#5 A#5
Darling, don't throw it all away, I'm here to make you stay with me.
F#5 G#5 A#5
Newly risen, how brightly you shine.
F#5 G#5 A#5
Something seems to give inside my heart when you're nearby.
F#5 G#5 A#5
All I've given to you is vacant eyes,
F#5 G#5 A#5
I don't understand, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it.
C#5 A#5 F#5
On a park bench by the street, at the 43rd degree,
A#5 A#5
I'll sit and watch the snowfall and think.
C#5 A#5 F#5
If these walls could tell the tale, an excuse to no avail,
A#5
would you ever begin to forgive me again, to forgive me now?
