              Bb     Gm      C                 Bb       
                he's hearing stories, peculiar stories 
                              Gm              C 
                   and it's making him feel strange. 
                             Bb         Gm         C 
         and he's feeling lonely and tearful and uncertain 
                           Bb                  Gm    C 
            and he's half afraid to feel that love again. 
                                         Fsus  F    
                        but he's hearing stories 
 
         Bb      Gm     C                     Bb           
            and he's hearing laughter, unending laughter 
                            Gm                C    
                     and it's making him feel sad, 
                             Bb        Gm            C  
         and he's feeling cold and indifferent and old now 
                          Bb                   Gm    C      
            and he's half afraid to feel that love again. 
 
                                   Dm          C        
                 and he's hearing stories and laughter 
                                 Gm          
                           and happy ever after 
                                          Dm 
                    and he knows there's many rooms 
                                    F       
                          in his father's house 
                                   C          
                        but he's spoilt by choice 
                               F                Fsus    F   
                and he's hearing stories and laughter. 
 
            Bb          Gm      C                  Bb    
            and he's lived for ten years, ten full years 
                           Gm                    C  
                   in that freedom house on the hill 
                                           Bb       
                       and his room feels dark now 
                              Gm        C         
                         and dusty and forgotten 
                            Bb                  Gm    C    
            and he's half afraid to feel that love again 
 
                                  Bb       F    C       
                 but still he's listening, and waiting 
                    Bb           F                 C     
              and watching from behind the frosted pane 
                                          Bb         
                      and he's strangely warm now, 
                            F            C         
                       and peaceful and contented 
                              Bb        Dm         C 
                    and he's devoted if not the same 
                                Fsus   F                  
                and he's hearing stories and laughter.
