Intro

Verse 

 C               F 
Take me to the night I'm tippin' 
 C            F                 C 
Topsy-turvy, turnin' upside-down 
 C                 F                C 
Hold me tight and whisper what you wish for 
          F               C F 
There is no one here around 
 F                 G 
You may sing song my sweet smiles 
  C                 F              G 
Regardless of the cities careless frown 
                  C 
Come watch the no-colours fade 
 F           C               F             C F 
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn 

Verse 

 C                        F                 C 
Some prince charming I'll be, on two white steeds 
             F                   C F 
To give you dappled diamond crowns 
 C                     F 
And climb your towers sleeping beauty 
 C              F                     C F 
'Fore you know I've ever left the ground 
 F             G            C 
You can wear a Cinderella, Snow-White 
     F              G 
Alice Wonderland gown 
                  C 
Come watch the no-colours fade 
 F           C               F             C F 
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn

Verse 

 C                F             C 
But if I seem to wander off in dream-like looks 
       F                   C 
Please let me settle slowly 
                    F             C 
It's only me just staring out at you 
           F                    C F 
A seeming stranger speaking holy 
 F               G 
I don't mean to wake you up 
    C             F              G 
It's only loneliness just coming on 
                  C 
Come watch the no-colours fade 
 F           C               F             C F 
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn 

Verse 

 C               F 
Take me to the night I'm tippin' 
 C            F                 C 
Topsy-turvy, turnin' upside-down 
 C                 F                C 
Hold me tight and whisper what you wish for 
          F               C F 
There is no one here around 
 F                    G 
There's magic in the sleepiness 
    C            F                G 
Of waking to a childish sounding yawn 
                  C 
Come watch the no-colours fade 
 F           C               F             C F 
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn
