[Opening]
Ba da [Gm]da, ba da [F]da da da [G]da, ba da da
[G]There used to be a graying [Eb]tower [F]alone on the [G]sea

To [Eb]me you’re like a growing ad[F]diction that I can’t [G]deny
Won’t you tell me, is that [Eb]healthy babe?
But did you [G]know that when it [Gm]snows
My [Eb]eyes become [F]large and the [Eb]light that you [F]shine can’t be [G]seen?
