The Swing Of Things

	  		(Bm F#m D A Bm D F#m)

Bm                       D        E    Bm D E
They say the world's an eventful place
Bm                       D        E    Bm D E
You give me news I don't want to know
Bm           F#m          G               A        
You say that I should care that I should speak
	Bm D E Bm D E
my mind
       F#m        D            A           Bm
Oh but how can I speak of the world rushing by
       D                      A           D  
With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes
 E7     F#m          D       A          Bm
Have we come to the point of no turning back
         D                         A         
Or is it still time to get into the 
Bm D E Bm D E
swing of things
Bm                       D        E    Bm D E
Let us walk through this windless city
Bm                       D        E    Bm D E
I'll go on till the winter gets me
Bm           F#m          G               
"Sleep..." you wrote "Sleep my dear" 
A        		Bm D E Bm D E
in a letter somewhere
F#m        D            A            
Oh but how can I sleep with your voice 
Bm
in my head
D         A           D  
And an ocean between us and room in my bed
E7     F#m          D       A          
Have I come to the point where I'm 
Bm
losing the grip
D	        A         
Or is it still time to get into the 
Bm D E Bm D E
swing of things
Bm D E Bm D E D E
         F#m          D            
When she glows in the dark 
  A           Bm
and I'm weak by the sight
         D                      A           D  
Of this breathtaking beauty in which I can hide
E7        F#m          D         A        Bm
There's a worldful out there of people I fear
          D                      
But given time 
      A                D
I'll get into the swing of things
    E7       F#m          D             
Yes when she glows in the dark 
     A            	       Bm
and I'm struck by the sight
  D 
I know that I'll need this 
    A          D 	E7 F#m D A Bm
for the rest of my life 
D A D   E7 F#m D A Bm   D A D
E7 F#m D A Bm     D A D   E7
F#m         D         A           Bm
What have I done what lies I have told
            D 
I've played games with the ones 
A          	        D
that rescued my soul
E7     F#m         D               
Have I come to the point 
A          	Bm
where I'm losing the grip
         D                 A       
Or is it still time to get into 
         D                 Bm
