[Verse 1]
[Am]They[D][Am]
[Em]say[C][G][Am][C][Em][Am]
the world's an [D]eventful [Am]place[C][D]
You [Am]give me news
I don't want [D]to know[Am][D]
[Am]You [D]say that I[Em] should car[F]e
That I should [G]speak [C]my [Am]mind[D][Am][C]
Oh, [D]but [Em]how can I speak
[C]of the wor[G]ld
Pushing [Am]by
With a [C]lump in my throat
And [G]tears in my eye[C]s
[D]Have we [Em]come to the [C]point
of [G]no turning [Am]back
Or is it [C]still time to get into
[Em]The swing of t[Am]hings

[Verse 2]
Let us walk through [Am]this
[D]windless [Am]city[D]
[Am]I'll go on til [C]the winter get
[D]s m[Am]e[D]
"Sleep" you wrote [Em]"sleep,
my [Am]dear"[F]
In a [G]letter some[Am]where[D][Am][C]
[D]Oh, but [Em]how can I [C]sleep with
your [G]voice in my [Am]head
And [C]and ocean between us
And [G]room in my [C]bed
[D]Have I [Em]come to the [C]point
where I'm [G]loosing the [Am]grip
Or is it [C]still time to get into
[Em]The swing of t[Am]hings

[Verse 3]
When she [Em]glows in the [C]dark
And I'm weak [G]by the [Am]sight
Of this [C]breathtaking beauty
In [G]which I can [C]hide
There is a [Em]worldful out [C]there
Of [G]people I [Am]fear
But given [C]time I'll get into
[G]The swing of [C]things
Yes, [D]when she [Em]glows in the [C]dark and
I'm [G]struck by the [Am]sight
I [C]know that I'll need this for the [G]rest of my life

[Verse 4]
[Em]What have I [C]done
What [G]lies I have [Am]told
I've played [C]games with the ones
that [G]rescued my [C]soul
Have I [Em]come to the [C]point where
I'm [G]losing the [Am]grip
Or is it [C]still time to get [Em]into
The swing of things
[Am]
