              Intro 
E       B       E       B 
A       G#m     B       E 
 
Verse 
 
E 
I stood here before 
                                                 B 
A half opened door with bright light shining through 
 
And I hear my name 
        F#m                                    E 
Your voice is soft and it's telling me to come through 
 
So I'm looking in 
                                     A 
But I can feel this cold draft from behind 
E                 B 
Baby I'm in the right place 
                  A 
At the wrong time 
 
Post-Chorus 
              D 
You can take my heart and run away 
      A 
Make me follow you where you go 
 
 
C#m             B                      E 
I'm not in a place where I can let you 
      A          B             C#m 
So all I can do is slowly forget you 
        A                       B                     E 
And I remember just how good it felt when I met you 
    A             B                     D 
But now I must slowly forget you 
 
Verse 
    E 
Oh the skies are grey 
                                        B 
The rain is pouring heavily on my head 
                                                                        E 
You offer shelter with a long embrace and a warm place in your bed 
 
Yes you do 
                                                                A 
Oh and I'm so tempted to leave all that I have so far behind 
                E 
Where?s my mind? 
                     B 
I'm in the right place 
        A 
At the wrong time 
 
Pre-Chorus 
            D 
You can take my heart and run away 
                A 
Make me follow you where you go 
 
 
C#m             B                      E 
I'm not in a place where I can let you 
      A          B             C#m 
So all I can do is slowly forget you 
        A                       B                     E 
And I remember just how good it felt when I met you 
    A             B                     D 
But now I must slowly forget you 
 
Verse 
 
 E 
Oh the night is red 
                                        B 
And the mellow breeze of love is in the air (Love is in the air) 
                          F#m                                   E 
And I pour the wine and we drink as if tonight we just don't care 
 
Just don't care 
                                                                                A 
Oh and we fantasized, and we dreamed perhaps somewhere along the line 
            E 
We?ll meet again 
                B 
In another place 
        A 
At the right time 
 
Pre-Chorus 
            D 
You can take my heart and run away 
                A 
Make me follow you where you go 
 
 
C#m             B                      E 
I'm not in a place where I can let you 
      A          B             C#m 
So all I can do is slowly forget you 
        A                       B                     E         C#m 
And I remember just how good it felt when I met you 
    A           F#m 
But now I must 
        A 
slowly forget you 
                E 
Slowly forget you
