White steps in the moonlight

They walked here too

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

Em     Am
Children again,

      Cmaj7/G    Bm7
on rusting swings getting higher

Em    Am
Sharing a dream,

   Cmaj7/G   D  B
on an island, it felt right


  Em     Bm
We lay side by side

      Dm      Am
Between the moon and the tide

Cm     Gm    A
Mapping the stars for awhile


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

Em      Am
Remember that night

  Cmaj7/G    Bm7
The warmth and the laughter

Em    Am
 Candles burned

      Cmaj7/G    D B
Though the church was deserted

Em       Am
At dawn we went down

        Cmaj7/G    Bm7
through empty streets to the harbour

Em      Am
Dreamers may leave,

      Cmaj7/G  D  B
but they're here ever after


Em     Bm
La La La (La La La)

Dm     Am
La La La (La La La)

Cm     Gm     A
La La La (La La La) La


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


[2nd guitar solo]

Em Am Cmaj7/G Bm7 Em Am Cmaj7/G D B
