( E5 D5 A5 )

         B5           D5         E5
My eyes have seen the glory of the sacred wunderkind

( D5 A5 B5 )

   D5      E5
You took me behind a disused railway line

( D5 A5 )

                             B5           D5       E5
And said I know a place where we can go, Where we are not known

( D5 )

        A5                   B5         D5
And you told me something that I won?t forget too soon

G5               A5           G5                A5
But I can?t believe you?d ever care
C5                D5             C5               D5
And this is why you will never care

E5                       D5
These things take time
E5              A5
I know that i?m
C5
The most inept
         D5
That ever stepped

( G5 C5 G5 )
( G5 C5 D5 )

( E5 D5 A5 )

 D5   E5
I?m spellbound; by a woman divine

( B5 A5 )

          B5           D5    E5
And the hills are alive with celibate cries

( D5 )
                                     A5
And I know where you came from , I know where You?re going and i know
             B5           D5    E5
where you belong

( D5 A5 )

               B5           D5
You said I was ill, and you were not wrong

G5               A5           G5                A5
But I can?t believe you?d ever care
C5                D5             C5             D5
And this is why you will never care
E5                        D5
These things take time
E5            A5
I know that i?m
C5
The most inept
         D5
That ever stepped

( G5 C5 G5 )
( G5 C5 D5 )

( E5 D5 E5 A5 B5 )

                 E5
Oh, the alcoholic afternoons When we sat in your room
D5         E5          D5                A5             B5
They meant more to me Than any, any living thing on earth

( D5 A5 B5 )
            E5
They had more worth Than any living thing on earth
      D5                A5                 B5           D5
On earth, on earth, oh ...

( G5 A5 G5 A5 )
( C5 D5 C5 D5 )

E5                    D5
Vivid and in your prime
E5                     D5
You will leave me behind
C5                     D5
You will leave me behind
