G          D                  Am    C 
  A little light looks through,  her bedroom window. 
G     D                 Am             C  
  She dances and I dream,  she's not so far as she seems. 
G             D                 Am   
  Of brighter meadows,  melting sunsets. 
         C 
Her hair blowin' in the breeze. 
G     D            Am       C 
  She can't see me watchin'. 
                 G  D  Am   C         G  D  Am   C 
  I'm thinkin',  lo…ve…   la da da da…  lo…ve…   la da da da… 


G      D                 Am               C 
  It's bittersweet, both sweet and bitter, bitter and sweet. 
G        D             Am         C 
  It's a bittersweet,  surrender. 
G      D                 Am               C  
  It's bittersweet, both sweet and bitter, bitter and sweet.  
G        D             Am         C 
  It's a bittersweet,  surrender. 

I said I'm older now. I work in the city. We live together. 
But it's different than my dream. 
Morning light fills the room,  I rise. 
She pretends she's sleepin'. 
Are we everything we wanted? 
I'm thinkin',  lo…ve…  la da da da…  lo…ve…  la da da da… 

Chorus 

Instrumental 

I said I know we don't talk about it. 
We don't tell each other, 
all the little things that we need. 
We work our way around each other. 
As we tremble and we…  as we tremble and we bleed. 
As we tremble and we…  as we tremble and we bleed.
