[Intro]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5

[Verse 1]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5
Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
oh lovely dreamer, magic prince,
G/B Csus2 G5
come and swoop you up, swoop you up.
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
but now no I, just might guess,
G/B Csus2 G5
man at all, i’ll grow up, I came your way.
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
nobody so special, will dream us away,
G/B Csus2 G5
nobody to sweep you away,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5
and oh light, oh light come and lift me up.

[Verse 2]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
Oh light please, come lift me up,
G/B Csus2 G5
oh sweet light come lift me up,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
when you go down, remember your steps as a baby,
G/B Csus2 G5
remembering how you walked,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
remembering all the sweetest dreamin’ you did,
G/B Csus2 G5
while you tick-tack alone.

G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
Now all gone, there’s nothin’ left,
G/B Csus2 G5
but your dream I wrote in a song.
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
Just like the bent back of an old woman,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
you know it’s all gone and severed alone,
G/B Csus2 G5
and so I rhyme.

[Verse 3]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
So now all your secrets,
G/B Csus2 G5
they all look the same as all inside,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
she feels swallowed up, oh she feels tired as she could,
G/B Csus2 G5
but creepin’ will roll us along.

[Verse 4]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
But it’s all over, oh,
G/B Csus2 G5
it’s all alone, so long,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
oh Lucy’s alone,
G5 G/B Csus2 G5
sweet Lucy loves the way of the world,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5
like the bent back of an old woman.

[Verse 5]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5
Why soon, this way ?
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5 G/B Csus2 G5
Why soon, my way ?

[Verse 6]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
I came cryin’ till you came, upon my knees,
G/B Csus2 G5
beggin father lift me up please,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
but no, answer came down, oh flower child,
G/B Csus2 G5
just emptiness inside of me.

[Verse 7]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
Oh light lift me up, please lift me up,
G/B Csus2 G5
come down and pick me away.
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
Forgive me all my selfish ways,
G/B Csus2 G5
sweet light pick me up from my misery.

[Verse 8]
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
Why, do I come back to you,
G/B Csus2 G5
the way, I do,
G/B Csus2 F6sus2 G5
the way, I picture you,
G/B Csus2 G5
in the way that I picture you.

[Instrumental]
