G
Dm  Am  Em  G
Dm  Am  Em  G
[Verse 1]
It's a trick of my Dmmind
Two faces bathing in the Amscreenlight
She's so Emsoft and warm in my Garms
I tune it into the Dmscene
My hands are resting on her Amshoulders
When we're Emdancing away for a Gwhile
Oh we're Dmmoving, we're falling,
We Amstep into the fire
By the Emhour of the wolf in a midnight Gdream
There's no Dmreason to hurry
Just Amstart that brand new story
Set it aEmlight, we're head over heels in Glove,
Head over heels...
[Chorus]
DmThe ringing of your laughter
It Amsounds like a melody
EmTo once forbidden places
We'll Ggo for a while
DmThe ringing of your laughter
It Amsounds like a melody
EmTo once forbidden places
We'll Ggo for a while
[Instrumental]
Dm  Am  Em  G
[Verse 2]
It's the definite Dmshow
Our shadows resting in the Ammoonlight
It's so Emclear and bright in your Geyes
It's the touch of your Dmsighs
My lips are resting on your Amshoulder
When we're Emmoving so soft and Gslow
We need the Dmecstasy, the jealousy,
The Amcomedy of love
Like the EmCary Grants and Kellys once beGfore
Give me more Dmtragedy, more harmony
And Amfantasy, my dear
And set it aEmlight, just starting that satellGite
Set it alight...
[Chorus]
DmThe ringing of your laughter
It Amsounds like a melody
EmTo once forbidden places
We'll Ggo for a while
DmThe ringing of your laughter
It Amsounds like a melody
EmTo once forbidden places
We'll Ggo for, we'll go for a Dmwhile

[Intro]

Dm Am Em G

[Verse 1]

It's a trick of my mind

Two faces bathing in the screenlight

Em G

She's so soft and warm in my arms

I tune it into the scene

My hands are resting on her shoulders

Em G

When we're dancing away for a while

Oh we're moving, we're falling,

We step into the fire

Em G

By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream

There's no reason to hurry

Just start that brand new story

Em G

Set it alight, we're head over heels in love,

Head over heels...

[Chorus]

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

[Instrumental]

Dm Am Em G

[Verse 2]

It's the definite show

Our shadows resting in the moonlight

Em G

It's so clear and bright in your eyes

It's the touch of your sighs

My lips are resting on your shoulder

Em G

When we're moving so soft and slow

We need the ecstasy, the jealousy,

The comedy of love

Em G

Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before

Give me more tragedy, more harmony

And fantasy, my dear

Em G

And set it alight, just starting that satellite

Set it alight...

[Chorus]

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

G Dm

We'll go for, we'll go for a while

[Instrumental]

Dm Am Em G

Dm Am Em G

[Chorus]

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
