A really easy one to play, just three main chords and you're away!
Intro
C   G   F   G
Verse
COut of the glitter and the shine
GOut of the corner of my eye
FSaw you walk in I freezed the frame
GMy luck again
CWe could have been strangers if we tried
GMove to the rhythm side by side
FMaybe a glance across the room
GBlue moon
Chorus
CWhy do the hours Gburn so long
FSunset and shadows Gcall
CI hear the music Gplaying on
FI know you're gone but you, Gyou left me a song
Verse
CUnder the skylight after dark
GCrept in to find you, what a lark
FWe were like children stripping down
GThe joy we found
CBut even the lights that turn me on
GMake it so hard to see beyond
FMake it a rainbow in my mind
GThis borrowed time
Chorus
COh you Gleft me...Fyou left Gme a Csong
Repeat Chorus

Maybe a glance across the room

I know you're gone but you, you left me a song

This borrowed time
