Twilight (Time 1981) By The Electric Light Orchestra (Music and Lyrics by Jeff Lynne)

(Chorded by keys-occupation)

C                         Bb
The visions dancing in my mind 
                              Ab
The early dawn, the shades of time 
         Fm                  C
Twilight crawling through my windowpane 
C                  Bb
Am I awake or do I dream? 
                              Ab
The strangest pictures I have seen 
                 Fm         C
Night is day and twilight's gone away

F                                 G
With your head held high and your scarlet lies 
C                            F
You came down to me from the open skies 
G                          F
It's either real or it's a dream 
        Em              Bb   
There's nothing that is in between...


CHORUS: 
C                F              Fm
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile 
Am                   Em               F
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind 
          C
Away from me.

C                           Bb
Across the night I saw your face 
                          Ab
You disappeared without a trace 
                                 Fm      C
You brought me here, but can you take me back? 
C                        Bb
Inside the image of your light 
                             Ab
That now is day and once was night 
                     Fm          C
You lead me here and then you go away.


REPEAT CHORUS

F               Em                Am           F
(You brought me here, but can you take me back again?)
          F                       G
With your head held high and your scarlet lies 
C                            F
You came down to me from the open skies


REPEAT CHORUS
C        Bb      F              Fm
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile 
C        Bb      F              Fm
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile 
C         Bb        Am        Ab
Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight.
