D/f#
Won't you reach out, love, and touch me
A
Let me hold you for awhile
Bm
I've been all around the world
E A
oh how I love to see you smile
D/f#
There's a shadow on the moon
A
and the waters here below
F#m
do not shine the way they should
G
and I love you just in case you didn't know
(Chorus)
D D/c#
Let it go... (2nd time only: Set it free...)
D/b D/a G **
let it happen like it happened once before
D F#m
It's a wicked world and it chills me to the bone
Bm
and if you do not believe me,
G (play intro once)
come and gaze upon the shadow at your door
D/f#
Won't you lie down by me, baby
A
Run your fingers through my hair
Bm
I've been all around the town
E A
and still I do not understand
D/f#
Is it me or is it you
A
or the shadow of a dream
F#m
Is it wrong to be in love
G
Could it be the finest love I've ever seen?
(to chorus)
D/f#
Please kiss me gently, darling
A
where that river runs away
Bm
from the mountains in the springtime
E A
on a blue and windy day
D/f#
where there's beauty all around
A
as the shades of night grow deep
Bm
when the morning stars go dim,
G
they will find us in their shadows fast asleep
(to chorus)
(play intro 2x and end on D/f#)
** chord - 4x4430
D/f# - 2x0232
D/g - 3x0232
