C                               Am
It was pretty bright, up on the rainbow
bridge tonight
         F             C
I could see into your window although you're
      G
far away
    Dm
You were racing in a car
         A#
Beside a boy, you just don't know if he is
C     Csus4
up for
                  C  Csus4
What you have in mind
         C   Csus4                C
If he is up for what you have in mind

C                                Am
Change is on the cards, but this time it
will be hard
       F             C
But I never want to leave you
                   G
We've never had a fight
           Dm
You should never split a pole
            A#
You should never split at all
          C    Csus4                 C    Csus4
I wish I had two paths that I could follow
              Am    F             Dm
I'd write the ending without any sorrow

I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting
there
I will wrap my hands around you
So I know it will be fine
We’ve got a fantasy affair
We didn’t get wet, we didn’t dare
Our aspirations are wrapped up in books
Our inclinations are hidden in looks

Summer’s hastening on
I’m trying to get a feeling from
The city but I’ve been unfaithful
I’ve been traveling abroad
We’ve got a fantasy affair
We didn’t get wet, we didn’t dare
But the fantasy remains
You better come back to Earth again
Our aspirations are wrapped up in books
Our inclinations are hidden in looks
