Clearing In The Forest

	  		 


D         G               C  
We need a clearing in the forest 
   G             C    G 
An island in the sea____ 
            D  
A space for loving 
  C                 G 
A place for you and me 



Here come the critics now, the news it won't be good 
                             C 
Come along and hurry now and do the things you should 
      G               Em          Bm  
I can see you dancing by me, held up by secret strings 
C                             D 
Pulled by friends and lovers, waiting in the wings 



          G               C  
We need a clearing in the forest 
   G             C    G 
An island in the sea____ 
            D  
A space for loving

A place for you and me 




Aboard the titanic now, it all looks black or white 
                      C 
If we don't panic now, it'll be all right 
      G             Em          Bm  
But the wireless is broken, the sea is dark and rough 
   C                               D 
We only have each other, don't you know that's not enough 



          G               C  
We need a clearing in the forest 
   G             C    G 
An island in the sea____ 
            D  
A space for loving 
  C                 G    
A place for you and me

Down in the magic city now, the ghost of Mammon sings 
                                           C 
You can play for plastic feelings, you can play for plastic things 
         G                 Em       Bm  
The only difference is the playing, losing is the same 
        C                             D 
There's truth in the saying, that the doing is in the game 



          G               C  
We need a clearing in the forest 
   G             C    G 
An island in the sea____ 
            D  
A space for loving 
  C                 G    
A place for you and me
