  Play me a song Joe

To fill the hours till morning
   Bb   Am7     Gm7
Then never again will I bother you

Ooh, Build myself a tower

No way in no way out.

Once in a while.

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...

Never walked the same way
  Bb/G       C
The little love that I have known

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...
