              VERSE 1: 
  
     Bb  F     C  
When you fall asleep,  
Bb        F  
with your head,  
 Dm       C  
upon my shoulder.  
Bb          F     C  
When you're in my arms,  
Bb         F     Dm         C  
but you've gone somewhere deeper.  
 
 
Bb               F        Dm  
Are you going to age with grace?  
Bb               F       Dm        C  
Are you going to leave a path that joins?  
Bb               F        Dm  
Are you going to age with grace?  
Bb         F        Dm        C  
Or only to wake and hide your face.  
     Bb     F  
Well..oh, oblivion.  
   Bb               F  
Is calling out your name.  
    Dm             Bb  
You always take it further,  
     Bb     F  
than I ever can.  
 
 
 
VERSE 2; 
  
Bb       F       C  
When you play it harder,  
    Bb       F          C  
and I try to follow you there,  
     Bb   F       C  
It's not about control,  
    Bb               F           C  
But I turn back when I see where you go.  
 
CHORUS
