[Verse 1]
D F C E
All your cares now they seem, oh, so far away,
D F C E
And all your fears, I fear I once shared,
D F C E
Now I know there's a future for all of us,
D F C E
Not so long ago ...I was so scared
[Oboe Break]

[Verse 2]
D F C E
You seemed so sad, I could see through your twisted smile,
D F C E
So un - sure, always con - fused,
D F C E
Pale blue eyes gazing down from your ivory tower,
D F C
Through the haze, all broken,
E
And brusied!

[Bridge]
G D A (A4)(A)
Then out of the blue love came rushing in,
G D A (A4)(A)
Out of the sky came the sun,
G D A (A4)(A)
Out of left field came a lucky day,
G D A (A4)(A)
Out of the blue, no more pain

[Verse 3]
D F C E
I don't mind if it's only a passing craze,
D F C E
Throwa - way lines ...often ring true,
D F C E
If I were you, I would stay for a little while,
D F C
If you were me, would you walk out...
E E
...in style?
