Capo I **

[Verse 1]
           Em          Bm            
Before you slip into unconsciousness,
    Am            Em         
I'd like to have another kiss
 E      Em   A   B      A    E     
Another flashing chance at   bliss,
 D      E      D      E   
another kiss, another kiss

[Verse 2]
    Em                   Bm               
The days are bright, and filled with pain,
  Am               Em         
enclose me in your gentle rain
    E        Em  A   B   A E    
The time you ran was too insane,
      D     E           D     E   
we'll meet again, we'll meet again

[Verse 3]
    Em                 Bm           
Oh, tell me where your freedom lies,
    Am                      Em       
the streets are fields that never die
  E     Em A    B   A    E   
Deliver me from reasons  why,
      D      E        D      E  
you'd rather cry, I'd rather fly

[Verse 4]
    Em              Bm          
The crystal ship is being filled
  Am                Em              
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
  E       Em   A  B     A     E   
A million ways to spend your  time
     D      E          D      E   
When we get back, I'll drop a line
