                     G      F#
and we settled for a spark

sparks glow like stars in the dark
   E
of course they do
G              A
just like you

                        D             G
and I wish that I could fall for you
       A                 D             G
yeah I wish that I could fall for you
  A                 D    G
I wish that I could fall

           G

we could leave this world behind
