N.C.

They say we are asleep

N.C.

Until we fall in love

N.C.

We are children of dust and ashes

N.C.

But when we fall in love we wake up

N.C.

And we are a God

N.C.

And angels weep

N.C.

But if I die here tonight I die in my Bbsleep Bb7 They Ebsay we are aD7sleep Until we Gmfall in Bb7add4love And I’m so Ebready To wake Ebm(maj7)up now
