B A
When I woke up today
G
And you weren't there to play
E
Then I wanted to be with you
B A
When you showed me your eyes
G
Whispered love the skies
E
Then I wanted to stay with you
 
C G Am
Inside me I feel
 
C G Am
Alone and unreal
D
And the way you kiss
G D
Will always be a very special thing to me
B A
When I lay still at night
G
Seeing stars high and light
E
Then I wanted to be with you
 
B A
When the rooftops shone dark
G
All alone saw a spark
E
Spark of love just to stay with you
 
C G
Inside me I feel...
 
B A
If I mention your name
G
Turn around on a chain
E
Then the sky opens up for you
 
B A
When we grew very tall
G
When I saw you so small
E
Then I wanted to stay with you
 
C G
Inside me I feel...
