( Em D A4 )

         B           D         Em
My eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wunderkind

( D A4 B )

   D      Em
You took me behind a disused railway line

( D A4 )

                             B           D       Em
And said I know a place where we can go, Where we are not known

( D )

        A4                   B         D
And you told me something that I won?t forget too soon

G               A           G                A
But I can?t believe you?d ever care
C                D             C               D
And this is why you will never care

Em                       D4
These things take time
Em              A4
I know that i?m
C
The most inept
         D4
That ever stepped

( Em D A4 )

 D   Em
I?m spellbound; by a woman divine

( B A4 )

          B           D    Em
And the hills are alive with celibate cries

( D )
                                     A4
And I know where you came from , I know where You?re going and i know
             B           D    Em
where you belong

( D A4 )

               B           D
You said I was ill, and you were not wrong

G               A           G                A
But I can?t believe you?d ever care
C                D             C             D
And this is why you will never care
Em                        D4
These things take time
Em            A4
I know that i?m
C
The most inept
         D4
That ever stepped

( Em D Em A4 B )

                 Em
Oh, the alcoholic afternoons When we sat in your room
D         Em          D                A4             B
They meant more to me Than any, any living thing on earth

( D A4 B )
            Em
They had more worth Than any living thing on earth
      D                A4                 B           D
On earth, on earth, oh ...

( G A G A )
( C D C D )

Em                    D4
Vivid and in your prime
Em                     D4
You will leave me behind
C                     D4
You will leave me behind
