A                                       Amaj7             D    Bm7 
What would I say       if you should turn away from me? 
         Bm                             Em 
I do not know             if there are words  
            Bm    Em7          F#m             
that I can see               I only know  
                            G 
that I am reaching too high 
                 D   Adim                      Em 7   A7 
And who are we          to touch the  wind 
                D       Adim                Em7  A7 
And say our ship         is coming in 
               D 
The turning tide 
 
 
D               G                A               D 
Tell me the answer in your changing mind,  
F#m         Bm               G                    A    A7 
changing mind   don't know if love can last 
A                                           Amaj7                    D      Bm7 
When time is gone          and we are on        the roundabout 
                        Bm                       Em 
Would you still laugh       and be a clown  
                     Bm Em7                      F#m 
when love runs out          Or will you say  
                            G 
that I am reaching too high? 
                 D  Adim                    Em 7   A7 
And who are we         to touch the wind 
                 D      Adim                 Em7  A7 
And say our ship         is coming in 
               D 
The turning tide 
 
 
(slow down)    
                     D   Adim                     Em 7   A7 
And who are we          to touch the  wind 
                D       Adim                  Em7  A7 
And say our ship          is coming  in 
                D     GD     GD 
The turning tide
