Intro: C#, G#

A#m
Ever since I was 16 
  F#
I wished that spring would come to me 
                                          G#
And I wished that I could dance upon the isles 
      A#m
Sweat rivers on a stage of steam 
  F#
I let my thoughts begin to dream 
                      G#            C#
I held my breath and ran into the wild 

    A#m
And each night a horizon grew 
   F#
In all of us or just a few 
                                     G#
Til morning's gold would make it disappear 
    A#m
Yet somewhere in my treasured chest 
   F#
Is not forgot what must forget 
                     G#           C#
But that's a feeling for another year 

    A#m
And movement has a way like words 
       F#
You're there before the rhyme is heard 
    C#                                G#
And all that one can do is shape the ride 
    A#m
The miles of a forgotten dream 
    F#
Are yours my love it's where we've been 
                   G#              C#
And maybe one day soon we will arrive 

        C#   F#     C#
Playing all night loud 
            F#     C#
Playing all night loud 
        G#   A#m    F#
Sing it all night with me 
    G#     C#
All night loud 

    A#m
And we went on a whirlwind trip 
    F#
The nights unwound the records flipped 
                                      G#
And stillness came like chaos in the lights 
    A#m
And voices like devotion flew 
 F#
Across the sea from me to you 
                 G#            C#
In music that I still cannot describe 

    A#m
And there were ugly times it's true 
F#
Some from me and some from you 
      C#                          G#
And devils have a way of digging down 
      A#m
But a friend is not a friend for life 
  F#
Unless your life is worth the strife 
          G#            C#
So hold on we'll be alright 

        C#   F#     C#
Playing all night loud 
            F#     C#
Playing all night loud 
        G#   A#m    F#
Sing it all night with me 
    G#     C#
All night loud 

A#m
There's a speech that I know well 
    F#
Was told by Henry V I'll tell 
                                  G#
A version that relates to us not war 
 A#m
"He who sheds his sweat with me 
     F#
Will be my friend eternally 
                      G#             C#
From this day to the ending of the world!" 

   A#m
No matter if we're young or old 
   F#
Or in the sun or in the cold 
  C#                               G#
I hope I can remember your bright eyes 
     A#m
'Cos I know you and you know me 
   F#
At least somehow mysteriously 
                      G#                      C#
So thank you my dear friends and that's goodnight 


I'm much obliged 
           F#
I'm much obliged 
                      G#                      C#
So thank you my dear friends and that's goodnight 


I'm much obliged 
           F#
I'm much obliged 
                      G#                      C#
So thank you my dear friends and that's goodnight
