[Verse 1]
Cdim7Away frCom you
ThDm7ere is Gno music,
TheC7re is no Fsunlight,
ThDme wGorld is Cmaj9gray.
Cdim7Away frCom you
ThDm7e clocGks are frozen,
And C7time's a Ftraveller
Dm7Who's G7lost his Cway.
[Refrain]
The Fpeople I meet
MighGmt as well be statues,
The Bbwords we exchange
Might as Cwell be Greek.
The Froom that I'm in
May be brG7ight Emand cheerful
But Amto me Dit's dim and Gbleak.
[Verse 2]
Cdim7I'm halCf alive
Dm7Until Gthe moment
The C7door swiFngs open
DmAnd Gyou waCmaj9lk through.
NoFw my world starts to glow
LikGe a stained-glass window
And Amwhat was old and cold
Is Gwarm and new.

Cdim7

Dm7

Cmaj9

[Verse 1]

Cdim7 C

Away from you

Dm7 G

There is no music,

C7 F

There is no sunlight,

Dm G Cmaj9

The world is gray.

Cdim7 C

Away from you

Dm7 G

The clocks are frozen,

C7 F

And time's a traveller

Dm7 G7 C

Who's lost his way.

[Refrain]

The people I meet

Might as well be statues,

The words we exchange

Might as well be Greek.

The room that I'm in

G7 Em

May be bright and cheerful

Am D G

But to me it's dim and bleak.

[Verse 2]

Cdim7 C

I'm half alive

Dm7 G

Until the moment

C7 F

The door swings open

Dm G Cmaj9

And you walk through.

Now my world starts to glow

Like a stained-glass window

And what was old and cold

Is warm and new.

Cdim7 C

And so you see

F G Am

Why I can never be

D F G C

Away from you.

[Verse 3]

Cdim7 C

Away from you

Dm7 G

The world is lifeless

C7 F

As though creation

Dm G Cmaj9

Has gone awry.

Cdim7 C

The trees are bare,

Dm7 G

There are no flowers,

C7 F

The fields are thirsty,

Dm7 G7 C

The streams are dry.

[Refrain]

We live, you and I,

For a breath of sunlight,

So brief an escape

From a world of gray.

Our moments of warmth

G7 Em

Have been touch and go, love,

Am D G

But tonight, we'll touch and stay.

[Refrain]

The people I meet

Might as well be statues,

The words we exchange

Might as well be Greek.

The room that I'm in

G7 Em

May be bright and cheerful

Am D G

But to me it's dim and bleak.

[Verse 4]

Cdim7 C

I'm half alive

Dm7 G

Until the moment

C7 F

The door swings open

Dm G Cmaj9

And you walk through.

Now my soul is afloat

On a wave of music

That I could feel such joy

I never knew.

Cdim7 C

And so you see

F G Am

Why I can never be

D F G C

Away from you.
