Bbm6           Am/D
    Say it's alright Joe,
  Bb/C         Bb6/C
I need another drink
   Bb6             Am7         Gm7(can also be played Bb6/G)
To blow on the glass so I know I'm alive

Bbm6          Am/D
    Play me a song Joe
   Bb6                 Bb6/C
To fill the hours till morning

Then never again will I bother you
Bb/G         C7no5
Ooh, Build myself a tower
   Bb/G              C7no5
No way in no way out.
Bb/G                C
Then my friends can visit me
Bb/G            C
Once in a while.

Bbm6           Am/D
    Say it's alright Joe.
  Bb/C          Bb6/C
I need some reassurance
    Bb         Am7            Gm7
You never know what you might find in the night.
Bb/G           C7no5             Bb/G          C7no5
Ooh I'm just a busy bee, still alive in my hive,
Bb/G             C
Looking for some other world
   Bb/G                C
To dream out my dreams.

           Dm                 Gm
There were Kings who were laughing in the rain
         Dm                       Gm
And they told me I'd come here to lead the parade
        Dm                         Gm
All the colours were changing, the sky was in ruins
    Dm                        Gm
The lights are all shining on me and on you

Shine on...

    Say it's alright Joe

    Bb/C               Bb6/C
The night will soon be over
    Bb6            Am7      Gm7
And nothing and no one will ever know.

Open my eyes Joe

Never seen the same face twice
      Bb6/G
Never walked the same way
    Bb/G             C
The little love that I have known
  Bb/G
I keep to myself.

|Bbm6   |Gm    |

          Dm              Gm
There's a fire it's asleep in my bed
       Dm                        Gm
I must leave it to burn until it burns itself out
Dm                       Gm
Catch as you can I'm not staying here long
        Dm                   Gm
I'll be coming back early or never at all

Shine on...
