Verse 1:
Cdim7Cdim7 C majorC
Away from you
Dm7Dm7 G+G
There is no music,
C7C7 FF
There is no sunlight,
DmDm G+G CMaj9Cmaj9
The world is gray.
Cdim7Cdim7 C majorC
Away from you
Dm7Dm7 G+G
The clocks are frozen,
C7C7 FF
And time's a traveller
Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC
Who's lost his way.
Refrain:
FF
The people I meet
G minorGm
Might as well be statues,
Bb majorBb
The words we exchange
C majorC
Might as well be Greek.
FF
The room that I'm in
G7G7 E minorEm
May be bright and cheerful
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
But to me it's dim and bleak.
Verse 2:
Cdim7Cdim7 C majorC
I'm half alive
Dm7Dm7 G+G
Until the moment
C7C7 FF
The door swings open
DmDm G+G CMaj9Cmaj9
And you walk through.
FF
Now my world starts to glow
G+G
Like a stained-glass window
A minorAm
And what was old and cold
G+G
Is warm and new.
Cdim7Cdim7 C majorC
And so you see
FF G+G A minorAm
Why I can never be
D MajorD FF G+G C majorC
Away from you.
Verse 3:
Cdim7Cdim7 C majorC
Away from you
Dm7Dm7 G+G
The world is lifeless
C7C7 FF
As though creation
DmDm G+G CMaj9Cmaj9
Has gone awry.
Cdim7Cdim7 C majorC
The trees are bare,
Dm7Dm7 G+G
There are no flowers,
C7C7 FF
The fields are thirsty,
Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC
The streams are dry.
Refrain:
FF
We live, you and I,
G minorGm
For a breath of sunlight,
Bb majorBb
So brief an escape
C majorC
From a world of gray.
FF
Our moments of warmth
G7G7 E minorEm
Have been touch and go, love,
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
But tonight, we'll touch and stay.
Refrain:
FF
The people I meet
G minorGm
Might as well be statues,
Bb majorBb
The words we exchange
C majorC
Might as well be Greek.
FF
The room that I'm in
G7G7 E minorEm
May be bright and cheerful
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
But to me it's dim and bleak.
Verse 4:
Cdim7Cdim7 C majorC
I'm half alive
Dm7Dm7 G+G
Until the moment

The door swings open

And you walk through.

Now my soul is afloat
G+G
On a wave of music
A minorAm
That I could feel such joy
G+G
I never knew.
Cdim7Cdim7 C majorC
And so you see
FF G+G A minorAm
Why I can never be
D MajorD FF G+G C majorC
Away from you.
