Bit of a dirge, but like all Fyfe's songs - deceptively simple. In other words, 
it's easy enough to get the chords out but making it sound good is hard indeed. 
DWhen love is a crippled Bmdream
When love is a crippled dream
That's where you'll fF#mind me
Saying I'Am not afraid
DAnd when love is a bBmarricade
When love is a barricade
That's where I'll finF#md you
Saying weA're already made
GI want to be nBmear you all day
I want to be near you all day
GI want to be neBmar you all day
CDon't go awayBb  
DWhen love is a hBmowling face
Trapped in a hollow place
I won't surrenderF#m  
or gAive you up
DSo don't put up these barrBmicades
We don't need barricades
We have each othF#mer
And Athat won't fade
GI want to be Bmnear you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
CDon't go awayBb  
                   Fm           Em(Strictly:  Fm  Fm+ Gx4  Em+ F#   Emx4)
To the dark, to the smoke
GmTo those downstairs
No fares
GI want to be neBmar you all day
GI want to be nBmear you all day
Stop! Outro
C         Bm
With tunes/noodling or oohs over the top as you like
