  			Em   G/D                C 
   I hear him, before I go to sleep  
G/B              Am 
And focus on the day that's been  
Em       G/D 
    I realise he's there,  
       C              G/B          Am 
When I turn the light off and turn over 
Bm     A 
Nobody knows about my man 
Bb              F       G 
They think he's lost on some horizon 
 
    G          Gb 
And suddenly I find myself 
F         Em            Eb 
Listening to a man I've never known before 
G/D         C             G       F/A          Ab 
Telling me about the sea, all his love, until eternity 
 
C  G C        Bb         F Bb    
Ooooooh, he's here again, 
F Bb               F/A          Cadd9 
  The man with the child in his eyes 
C  G C        Bb         F Bb    
Ooooooh, he's here again, 
F Bb               F/A          Cadd9 
  The man with the child in his eyes 
 
Em        G/D 
He's very understanding, 
         C        G/B           Am 
And he's so aware of all my situations 
Em         G/D 
And when I stay up late, 
            C        G/B            Am 
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate 
Bm         A 
Oh, I'm so worried about my love 
Bb             F            G 
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever" 
 
    G           Gb 
And here I am again my girl 
F         Em                Eb 
Wondering what on earth I'm doing here 
G/D      C                G      F                 Ab 
Maybe he doesn't love me, I just took a trip on my love for him   
 
C  G C        Bb         F Bb    
Ooooooh, he's here again, 
F Bb               F/A          C/G 
  The man with the child in his eyes 
C  G C        Bb         F Bb    
Ooooooh, he's here again, 
F Bb               F/A          C/G  
  The man with the child in his eyes
