(the lights don't shine no more)
[F#m] And so the songs are way down
[Am] low
(turning, [B] turning, turning)

(the echo's of the daylight)
[F#m] Of everything that is a-
[Am]-live
(in [B] my blue [E] world) [E]

VERSE 2:
[E] The dying embers of the
[F#] night
(a fire that slowly fades till dawn)
[F#m] Still glow upon the wall so
[Am] bright
(turning, [B] turning, turning)

[F#]-way
(from here to everywhere they go)
[F#m] Roll past my door into the
[Am] day
(in [B] my blue [E] world) [E]

VERSE 4:
The
[E] dancing shadows on the
[F#] wall
(the two-steps in the hall)
[F#m] are all I see since you've been
[Am] gone
(turning, [B] turning, turning)
[E] Through all I sit here and I

(I turn to stone, I turn to stone)

[Am] day
(to [B] my blue [E] world) [E]
