Dm C F
from the back of your big brown eyes
Dm C F A# C
i knew you’d be gone as soon as you could
F A# C
and i hoped you would
Dm C F
we could see that you weren’t yourself
Dm C F
and the lines on your face did tell
A# C
it’s just as well
F A# C F F#dim
you’d never be yourself again

A#
saw you last night
C F F#dim
dance by the light of the moon
A#
stars in your eyes
C Dm
free from the life that you knew

Dm C F
Dm C F A# C
F A# C

Dm C F A# C
you’re the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
Dm C F A# C
you’re the breath that blows these cool winds ’round
Dm C F A# C
trading places with an angel now

F F#dim

A#
saw you last night
C F F#dim
dance by the light of the moon
A#
stars in your eyes
C F F#dim
free from the life that you knew
A#
saw you last night
C
stars in your eyes
Dm
smiled in my room
