like an (C#m7)ea gle you (A6)cir cled in (E)per fect pur (B)ple.
So how (C#m7)come things move (A6)on,
how (Esus4)come (E)cars don’t (G#m7)slow,
when it (C#m7)feels like the (A6)end of my world?
When I (C#m7)should, but I (A6)can’t let you go?
But when I’m (C#m7)cold,

oh, the (C#m7)light that you (A)left me will ev er glow.
