Am7 G F
Slide away - and give it all you've got
Am7 G F
My today - fell in from the top
Am7 G F
I dream of you - and all the things you say
Am7 G F
I wonder where you are now
Hold me down - all the world's asleep
I need you now - you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you - we talk of growing old
But you said please don't!
