Melanie Safka - Lovers' Lullaby
(## NOTE: The sequence  G   D   Gis actually a walk down from  Cto  G##)
INTRO:    G     C     D       G     C     D  
And Gwhen I reCmember how Dgood your love Gfeels 
The real world goes Cslipping Daway
And Gthough it's just Cdreaming I Dmake your love Gtrue
And I trade in this Creal world for one Gdream Dof Gyou
I go to a Cclearing in the Dwoods that we Gshare
When the real world Cholds us Dapart
Though I Gcan't hold your Chand and I Dcan't kiss you Gthere
I will die in this Creal world to live Gin Dyour Gheart
BRIDGE:
And Emthough over-Bmsimple is there Canything Gelse 
SomeEmtimes I aBmwaken to Cquestion Dmyself
Oh, Gwhat fools what Cchildren to Dfollow the Gheart
For a dream that might Clast just one Dnight
But Gsomething that Cdoesn't speak DEnglish says, 'GDo'
And I trade in this Creal world for one Gnight Dwith Gyou
And something with Cwings and speaks Donly in Gblues
Tells me trade in this Creal world for one Gnight Dwith Gyou

G C D G

And when I remember how good your love feels

The real world goes slipping away

G C D G

And though it's just dreaming I make your love true

C G D G

And I trade in this real world for one dream of you

I go to a clearing in the woods that we share

Though I can't hold your hand and I can't kiss you there

C G D G

I will die in this real world to live in your heart

BRIDGE:

Em Bm C G

And though over-simple is there anything else

Em Bm C D

Sometimes I awaken to question myself

G C D G

Oh, what fools what children to follow the heart

For a dream that might last just one night

G C D G

But something that doesn't speak English says, 'Do'

C G D G

And I trade in this real world for one night with you

C D G

And something with wings and speaks only in blues

C G D G

Tells me trade in this real world for one night with you
