  			B                A 
When I woke up today 
                         G 
And you weren't there to play 
                 E 
Then I wanted to be with you 
B                          A 
When you showed me your eyes 
                      G 
Whispered love the skies 
                   E 
Then I wanted to stay with you 

C  G       Am 
Inside me I feel 

C  G       Am 
Alone and unreal 
        D 
And the way you kiss 
                 G                     D 
Will always be a very special thing to me 
B                      A 
When I lay still at night 
                         G 
Seeing stars high and light 
                 E 
Then I wanted to be with you 

B                        A 
When the rooftops shone dark 
                   G 
All alone saw a spark 
                         E 
Spark of love just to stay with you 

C         G 
Inside me I feel... 

B                   A 
If I mention your name 
                     G 
Turn around on a chain 
                    E 
Then the sky opens up for you 

B                    A 
When we grew very tall 
                     G 
When I saw you so small 
                  E 
Then I wanted to stay with you 

C          G 
Inside me I feel...
