Intro: D G D G D G D G
 
D G
Tell me all the things you would change
D G
I don't pretend to know what you want
Bm E
When you come around and (spin my top??)
G F#
Time and again, time and again
 
D G
No fire where I lit my spark
D G
I am not afraid of the dark
Bm E
Where your words devour my heart
G
And put me to shame, put me to shame
 
 
Chorus:
 
A Em
Your seven worlds collide
G A D
Whenever I am by your side
A Em
Dust from a distant sun
G A D G D G
Will shower over everyone
 
 
You're still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no-one to blame
 
It's easy to forget what you learnt
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
And drawn to the flame
 
<Chorus>
 
Dust from a distant sun
G A
Will shower over everyone
 
Bm A G A Bm
And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood
A G A
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
Bm A G
I don't pretend to know what you want
A
But (I offer love?)
 
<Solo> A Em G A D A Em G A D
 
Seven worlds will collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
G A D F# G
Will shower over everyone
Bm F# G
As time slips by ...
D F# G
Bm F# G
