[Intro] G G C C G G C C G G C C G G C C [Intro Chorus]

^GYou could meet somebody,You nev^Cer know, ^GFrom brief encounters,^CHabits grow, ^GInto giant oak`s that ^Chide the sun, ^GLife in the shadows^C ain`t no fun.

[Verse One]

^GIt`s easy getting up there,Never thi^Cnk of coming down, Not hard ^Gto say i want you,When you`re floating on a cloud, But you know^G that lonely feeling when not^Chings going right, `Cause it`s ^Gonly the beginning of a cold^C and sleepless night.

[Chorus One]

^GYou could meet somebody,You nev^Cer know, ^GFrom brief encounters,^CHabits grow, ^GInto giant oak`s that ^Chide the sun, ^GYour only chance is to ^Cturn and run.

[Lyricon Instrumental] G G C C G G C C G G C C G G C C [Verse Two]

^GIt`s harder getting up there,And it`s p^Cainful coming down, And n^Gow you can`t see clearly,Beneath ^Cthe thunder cloud, And the ^Gloneliness gets longer when no^Cthing`s going right, And t^Ghings ain`t getting any better with an^Cother sleepless night.

[Chorus Two]

^GYou could meet somebody,You nev^Cer know, ^GFrom brief encounters,^CHabits grow, ^GInto giant oak`s that ^Chide the sun, ^GYour only chance is to ^Cturn and run.

{Saxophone Instrumental] G G C C G G C C [Chorus Three]

[Chorus Four]

^GYou could meet somebody,You nev^Cer know, ^GFrom brief encounters,^CHabits grow, ^GInto giant oaks that h^Cide the sun, ^GYour only chance is to ^Cturn and run.
