 1 -1    2   -2    4   4  -2 <-1   4      4 
Be-fore you slip   in- to un-con-scious-ness
The(not -1,2)days are bright & filled with pain
Oh           tell me where your freedom lies

<-1   4 <-3  -3  -2 -3 -3   -2
I'd like to have an-oth-er kiss
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The streets are fields that never die

-2 -2 -2    -3  <-3    4   4    4
An-oth-er flash-ing chance at bliss
The time you ran was too insane
Deliver me from reasons why

-2 -3 <-3  -2    4   4 <-3  3  3 -2
An-oth-er kiss, an-   oth-  er kiss
We'll meet a-gain, we'll meet again
You'd rather cry. I'd rather fly

The crys-tal ship is  be-ing filled

A thou-sand girls, a thou-sand thrills

<-2  -2 -2    -3 <-3   4    4    4
A   mil-lion ways to spend your time

When we get back, I'll   drop a  line
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
