E minorEm      A minorAm
Remember that night

   Cmaj7/G   Bm7Bm7
White steps in the moonlight

E minorEm        A minorAm
They walked here too

       Cmaj7/G     D MajorD    BB
Through empty playground, this ghosts' town

E minorEm     A minorAm
Children again,

      Cmaj7/G    Bm7Bm7
on rusting swings getting higher

E minorEm    A minorAm
Sharing a dream,

   Cmaj7/G   D MajorD  BB
on an island, it felt right

  E minorEm     B minorBm
We lay side by side

      DmDm      A minorAm
Between the moon and the tide

C minorCm     G minorGm    A augmentedA
Mapping the stars for awhile


Em/GEm/G
Let the night surround you
We're halfway to the stars
Ebb and flow
Let it go
Feel her warmth beside you

Remember that night

  Cmaj7/G    Bm7Bm7
The warmth and the laughter

E minorEm    A minorAm
 Candles burned

      Cmaj7/G    D MajorD BB
Though the church was deserted

E minorEm       A minorAm
At dawn we went down

        Cmaj7/G    Bm7Bm7
through empty streets to the harbour

E minorEm      A minorAm
Dreamers may leave,

      Cmaj7/G  D MajorD  BB
but they're here ever after


E minorEm     B minorBm
La La La (La La La)

DmDm     A minorAm
La La La (La La La)

C minorCm     G minorGm     A augmentedA
La La La (La La La) La


Em/GEm/G
Let the night surround you
We're halfway to the stars
Ebb and Flow
Let it go
Feel her warmth beside you
