Dm____________C__/B_Am____/G
We built a house of tender dreams

F_________A#____________C____/B__Am
Promising to reach there by our love's soft wings

Dm__________C____/B_Am__/G
Time we saw as growth together

F____A#__________C
Never understood the weather

F________A#_____C
That would rain and drown our lives in sorrow

F______A#_______C________D___E
I wish I'd known what you would do tomorrow

 

chorus:
Dm__________C____A#__G_-_A
The lights are out, I am left in black

F_______G________A
I can't get out I want to go back

F_________E_____________Am____________G___F
Back where you had found me, leave me there in my despair

F______________E
Set me down just a little more gently

(Am_________G_____________F__)2__E_____Dm
(Don't forget I'm one for whom you cared)2 - don't forget

 

Dm______C___/B____Am___/G
Here I sit, alone with my dreams
Picking up the pieces of a shattered scheme
Love came and went, I saw it in my eyes
The colors that I made
Were created from the shade of your illusion
Of your shadow where I had ignored the conclusion

 

chorus:
Dm__________C____A#__G_-_A
The lights are out, I am left in black
I can't get out I want to go back
The lights are out, I am left in black
I can't get out I want to go back
Back where you had found me, leave me there in my despair
Set me down just a little more gently
Don't forget I'm one for whom you cared - don't forget

chorus:

Em_________________D_________C_______A__-__B_____G______A - B
The lights are out, I am left in black - I can't get out I want to go back
The lights are out, I am left in black - I can't get out I want to go back

G__________F#____________Bm_____________A______G
Back where you had found me, leave me there in my despair
Set me down just a little more gently - don't forget I'm one for whom you cared
Don't forget I'm one for whom you cared - don't forget
