I was sitting on a Futon Couch
In a far off town where the desert meets the sea

Where your friends always drop by, unannounced, for tea

Bridge:
         C majorC  G+G
Oh, 'cause I see water

Spilling on the land

I see a frosted window
      D MajorD     E minorEm
And the prints of a small hand
      C majorC   G+G
I see the lights out
D MajorD       E minorEm
Fingers intertwined
     C majorC       G+G
I see a cup thrown in silence

In the breaking of the night

I see me walking towards you
     D MajorD       E minorEm
To the sound of Colin Hay
      C majorC     G+G
I see the earth is split
      D MajorD      E minorEm
Down the centre of our plane

But I see it's worth it
D MajorD E minorEm
         A minorAm
'Cause I see it all now
