VERSE1
 A                C#m/G#                                   
  You’ve got that look again                               
     Bm                Dm
The one I hoped I had when I was a lad
 A                  C#m/G#
  Your face is just beaming
      Bm                        Dm
Your smile got me boasting, my pulse roller coastering
 A           C#m/G#
  Anyway the four winds that blow
 Bm                       Dm
   They’re gonna send me sailing home to you
 A                    C#m/G#
  Or I’ll fly with the force of a rainbow
 Bm                           Dm              Aadd9...
   The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes

You know I’d do most anything you want

Hey I,      I try to give you everything you need
       Dm
I can see that it gets to you
 Aadd9                  F#m7
    I don’t believe in many things

But in you    I do

VERSE2
 A               C#m/G#

   Your whole world has changed
     Bm                           Dm
The years spent before seem more cloudy than blue
 A                   C#m/G#
   In many ways your baby’s controlling
 Bm                       Dm
   When you haven’t laid down for days
 A                 C#m/G#
   For the poor no time to be thinking
