E                     Emaj7          E7
In your ivory covered palace, safe behind your 
         A
walls of glass.
         E                         F#
You keep staring back at me like a memory from 
    B
the past.
          E                 Emaj7
Won't you sing me away to a summer night,  
       E7                   A
let me hold her in my arms again.
       Am              E              B
I know memory's not re-living, but at least 
             E
it's not the end.
 
[Chorus]

Sing the loneliness of broken dreams away, 
       E
if you can.
B         E    B      E7       A
Yes, it's only me and you, Mr. Songman.
              E      A            B
Take away the night, sing away my hurt, 
    E
Mr. Songman.

let me hold her in my arms again.

Take away the night, sing away my hurt, 
    E         E
Mr. Songman.
