Intro: Em, D, G, G 

Em                D 
Time has held its breathe 
G 
Emotion has spelled rapture 
Em                D 
Across the room 
G 
A memory had been captured 

Em                D 
And through the years 
G 
Though distance lay between us 
Em                D 
I carried your torch 
G 
To illuminate the darkness 

Em                D 
And I still lose myself 
G 
In that orange glowing moment 
Em                D 
When your upturned face 
G 
Seemed to answer all my questions 

Em                D 
But when I asked myself 
G 
As I do from time to time now 
Em                D 
Where it all went wrong 
G 
Is there really any point 

Am 
In making plans 
Em        D       G 
In making plans 

Em, D, G, G x4 
Em, G x2 

Em                D 
So I made my vows 
G 
In the last low hours of morning 
Em                D 
As I lay you down 
G 
I heard you whispering a warning 

Em                D 
But then we lost ourselves 
G 
In that orange glowing moment 
Em                D 
And your upturned face 
G 
Seemed to answer all my questions 

Em                D 
But when I asked myself 
G 
As I do from time to time now 
Em                D 
Where it all went wrong 
G 
Is there really any point 

Am 
In making plans 
Em        D       G 
In making plans 

Em        D       G x2 

Em        D       G 
And I still lose myself 
Em        D       G 
I still lose myself 

G 
Making plans
