Candy Floss\n\nIntro: Variations on G\nVerse-1: G, Em, A\nVerse-2: Em, C7\n\nWe ran through the rain together\nYou said I looked nice, I said you looked pretty\nYou held my hand, you pulled me close\nAnd whispered “take me home”\n\nWe turned around as fast as we could\nAnd jumped on the very next train\nI said “I love you more than life”\nYou said “I feel the same”\n\nAnd we talked about nothing forever\nYou spoke to the walls, they told you a story\nThe world spun underneath our feet\nAs we shut our exhausted eyes\n\nWe wrote our names in a heart on the sand\nAnd saw the sea wash it away\nI said “I want you in my life”\nShe said “okay”\n\nShe was gonna go, but I said “no, I don’t think so”\nShe looked at me, she smiled at me\nAnd now I’ll tell you what she said:\n\n“Do you like candy floss?”\nI said “yeah, it’s alright”\nShe said “take me to a fun fair and we’ll eat candy floss tonight”\n\nAnd we spun on the teacups\nRound and round and round until we felt dizzy\nYou asked me to win you a bear\nAnd said it was fine when I failed\n(And we all know those things are rigged anyway.)\n\nYou and me, spinning through the trees ’till our faces were blue\nI’ll always be that little boy sharing candy floss with you\n\n6. What You Do\n\nCapo 1st\n\n\nVerse: Bm7, F\nChorus: E, Am7\n\nCome, come up to meet\nYou and I see\nAll of the world inside your eyes\nAnd I am alive\n\nYou move closer to me\nI know what you need\nI’m gonna set your heart on fire\nFeel you inside\n\nI’m addicted to what you do\nI’m in love with the way you move\nBreathing in every word you say\nAnd all of the promises you make\nI know you’ll keep them\n\nLegs twisting round me\nHearing you speak\nSaying the things I need to hear\nWe disappear\n\nYour skin against me\nSlide desperately\nTingles are slipping down my spine\nYou make you mine\n\nI’m addicted to what you do\nI’m in love with the way you move\nBreathing in every word you say\nAnd all of the promises you make\nI know you’ll keep them\n\nI’m addicted to what you do\nI’m in love with the way you move\nBreathing in every word you say\nAnd all of the promises you make\nOh God I need them\n\n7. No Sacrifice\n\nVerse-1: E, Em\nVerse-2: C, Am, E\nChorus: A, Am, E, E7\n\nI wish I could be the person everybody thinks that I’m not\nSurrender to an image until personality becomes lost\nI don’t want to be the one who always leaves you out in the rain\nEvery time I try I end up making all the same mistakes\n\nI wish I could stop reacting badly when you speak to me\nPush away reaction and just show you what I want you to see\nI don’t want to be the one who’s always getting in your way\nIf I let you go, you could be better for it anyway\n\nI can see who I want to be, but I’m not sure I can reach it anymore\nI’ve got no sacrifice, the fantasy of you left me unsure\n\nI think if I think too much I’ll think myself away from you\nThinking never does anyone good if it is all too soon\nMemories are remedies to stopping me want you too much\nMemory’s my ecstasy to keep me craving you enough\n\nNever have I met another person who is quite like you\nMoving on without you would be such a stupid thing to do\nWhy must you be laughing in my head if I don’t want you there?\nWhy do I indulge a single moment to making me care?\n\nI can see who I want to be, but I’m not sure I can reach it anymore\n(I wish I could be the person everybody thinks that I’m not)\nI’ve got no sacrifice, the fantasy of you left me unsure\n(I wish I could stop reacting badly when you speak to me)\nI can see who I want to be, but I’m not sure I can reach it anymore\n(I think if I think too much I’ll think myself away from you)\nI’ve got no sacrifice, the fantasy of you left me unsure\n\n8. Impossible Dreams\n\nVerse: C, Am, Em, G\nChorus: F, E, C, Am, Dm, G\n\nThis land’s so alien to me\nBut I just felt comfortable here\nAnd now I don’t know the way home\nI don’t know where I’m trying to go\n\nThe streets here have numbers\nThe buildings in blocks\nBut none of the street signs are pointing to you\nI’ve seen a whole different world\n\nThe sky’s getting darker, the air’s getting cooler\nAnd I just can’t win anymore\nSo forgive me, my darling\nWe all have impossible dreams\n\nI tried so many new things\nSmashes don’t matter against memories\nSeems that I made the wrong choice\nI’d say sorry but I have no voice\n\nTo tell you that decisions are hard\nAnd my world is so small\nNothing matters unless you’re satisfied\nWho else can I share my chai with\n\nNow the sky’s getting darker, the air getting cooler\nAnd I just can’t win anymore\nSo forgive me, my darling\nWe all have impossible dreams\n\nI don’t know much of my life\nBut I know I want people to know\nMaybe I might sing along\nAs if this was only a song\n\nBut now the sky’s getting darker, the air getting cooler\nAnd I just can’t win anymore\nSo forgive me, my darling\n\n9. Sicily\n\nCapo 5th\n\n\nVerse: Em, C, D\nChorus: Am, G, B7\n\nSat in peaceful scenery\nThe city lights shine bright around me\nThe smell of last night’s dinner is still breezing through the air\nDozing in tranquility\nThe morning sun hangs high above me\nClicking camera shutters catch bewildered foreign stares\n\nAnd I must be away from my home\nBut it feels so close to me\nAnd I must be away from my home\nBut it feels so close to me\n\nClifftop is our tapestry\nThe sunlit sky does well to cool me\nDrifting past the villas in a coach without a care\nBlackjack in serenity\nFellow makers ride beside me\nWalking through an archway and admiring what lies there\n\nAnd I must be away from my home\nBut it feels so close to me\nAnd I must be away from my home\nBut it feels so close to me\n\nSat in peaceful scenery\nThe city lights shine bright around me\nSmell of last night’s dinner is still breezing through the air\nThrough the air\n\n10. How We Were\n\nVerse: Am, F, Em, Am\nBridge: Dm, G, E, Am, Dm, G, E\n\n\nThings I like to think about involving me and you include a wait for a proposal \na London cloud\nWe make choices and they take us closer to our future and the day I wake up next to you \nsafe and sound\n\nMaybe we can spend a little time, growing old and drinking wine\nLooking forward to the things we’ve yet to face\nAnd if they bring us pearls for us to wear on Judgement Day\nWe can think ourselves quite lucky that we haven’t worn away\n\nI want to know if this could be something that you could believe in\nOr am I just saying words again\n\nI remember how we were, before you became intoxicating\nI remember how we were, before I could feel my will escaping\nI remember how we were, before my mind was inundated\nWith wishes of you getting lost in me\n\nThings I have to think about when I don’t know if you will do your best to make this \nor if you won’t reciprocate\nI could stand in front of you and offer you my world but if you’re not quite ready yet \nyou will leave me lost in space\n\nMaybe we can spend a couple days, high on life and cheap champagne\nDancing as we discuss possibility\nAnd if hypothetically the two of us become more strange\nI’ll think myself quite lucky you don’t throw my hand away\n\nI want to know if this could be something that you could believe in\nOr am I just saying words again\n\nI remember how we were, before you became intoxicating\nI remember how we were, before I could feel my will escaping\nI remember how we were, before my mind was inundated\nWith wishes of you getting lost in me\n\n11. Don't Look Back\n\n\nChorus: D, Dm, E7, D, Dm\n\nThis won’t be the first time that I’ll give it all I’ve got\nI promise I don’t mean for everything to turn out wrong\nI’m not a complex person, wind me up and watch me go\nYou’ll always be second to my love for the unknown\n\nIt’s late and your nose is turning red from the cold\nOur feet are walking rhythmically and crumpling the snow\nAnd I have got myself a question that I would like to ask\nWhen it gets to midnight, will you take my freezing hands and dance?\n\nAnd it’s too late for me, but you can still be free if you leave now\nAnd don’t look back, my love\n\nI’m a sucker for stability, which might come as a surprise\nBut I can’t help but love the way you smile to one side\nWe don’t need the music to remind us what we’ve lost\nI can barely move my fingers and I’m slipping on the frost\n\nNow the dark is all around us but for the full moon in the sky\nThe world is silent to me, we’re the only ones alive\nAnd I can see my breath in front of me, dancing in the air with yours\nWe both know what we want, but we can’t cos we’re so unsure\n\nAnd it’s too late for me, but you can still be free if you leave now\nAnd don’t look back, my love","chords":["A","Em","C","G","B7","F","E","Dsus2","Am","C7","Bm7","Am7","E7","Dm","D","Amaj7","F#","Fmin"],"chord_diagrams":{"A":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,1,2,3,0],"frets":[-1,0,2,2,2,0]},"Am":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,2,3,1,0],"frets":[-1,0,2,2,1,0]},"Am7":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,2,0,1,0],"frets":[-1,0,2,0,1,0]},"Amaj7":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,2,1,3,0],"frets":[-1,0,2,1,2,0]},"B7":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,1,3,0,4],"frets":[-1,2,1,2,0,2]},"Bm7":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,1,0,2,0,3],"frets":[-1,2,0,2,0,2]},"C":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,3,2,0,1,0],"frets":[0,3,2,0,1,0]},"C7":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,3,2,4,1,0],"frets":[0,3,2,3,1,0]},"D":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,0,1,3,2],"frets":[-1,-1,0,2,3,2]},"Dm":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,0,2,3,1],"frets":[-1,-1,0,2,3,1]},"Dsus2":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,0,1,2,0],"frets":[-1,-1,0,2,3,0]},"E":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,3,1,0,0],"frets":[0,2,2,1,0,0]},"E7":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,0,1,0,0],"frets":[0,2,0,1,0,0]},"Em":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,3,0,0,0],"frets":[0,2,2,0,0,0]},"F":{"barres":[1],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[1,3,4,2,1,1],"frets":[1,3,3,2,1,1]},"G":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[2,1,0,0,0,3],"frets":[3,2,0,0,0,3]}}}
