Intro: G, Dm, Am, Em, G, Dm, Am, Em, G 
 
G                       Dm 
It's a trick of my mind 
                                        Am 
Two faces bathing in the screenlight 
               Em                           G 
She's so soft and warm in my arms 
                         Dm 
I tune it into the scene 
                                               Am 
My hands are resting on her shoulders 
                     Em                        G 
When we're dancing away for a while 
                Dm         
Oh we're moving, we're falling, 
        Am 
We step into the fire 
            Em                                        G 
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream 
                  Dm  
There's no reason to hurry 
         Am  
Just start that brand new story 
          Em                                          G 
Set it alight, we're head over heels in love, 
Head over heels... 
 
Dm 
The ringing of your laughter 
    Am 
It sounds like a melody 
Em 
To once forbidden places 
         G 
We'll go for a while 
Dm 
The ringing of your laughter 
    Am 
It sounds like a melody 
Em 
To once forbidden places 
         G 
We'll go for a while 
 
Instrumental: Dm, Am, Em, G 
 
It's the definite show 
Our shadows resting in the moonlight 
It's so clear and bright in your eyes 
It's the touch of your sighs 
My lips are resting on your shoulder 
When we're moving so soft and slow 
 
We need the ecstasy, the jealousy, 
The comedy of love 
Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before 
Give me more tragedy, more harmony 
And fantasy, my dear 
And set it alight, just starting that satellite 
Set it alight... 
 
The ringing of your laughter 
It sounds like a melody 
To once forbidden places, 
We'll go for a while 
The ringing of your laughter 
It sounds like a melody 
To once forbidden places, 
We'll go for a while
