 C               F
Take me to the night I'm tippin'
 C            F                 C
Topsy-turvy, turnin' upside-down
 C                 F                C
Hold me tight and whisper what you wish for
          F               C F
There is no one here around
 F                 G
You may sing song my sweet smiles
  C                 F              G
Regardless of the cities careless frown
                  C
Come watch the no-colours fade
 F           C               F             C F
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn

[Verse]

 C                        F                 C
Some prince charming I'll be, on two white steeds
             F                   C F
To give you dappled diamond crowns
 C                     F
And climb your towers sleeping beauty
 C              F                     C F
'Fore you know I've ever left the ground
 F             G            C
You can wear a Cinderella, Snow-White
     F              G
Alice Wonderland gown
                  C
Come watch the no-colours fade
 F           C               F             C F
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn

[Verse]

 C                F             C
But if I seem to wander off in dream-like looks
       F                   C
Please let me settle slowly
                    F             C
It's only me just staring out at you
           F                    C F
A seeming stranger speaking holy
 F               G
I don't mean to wake you up
    C             F              G
It's only loneliness just coming on
                  C
Come watch the no-colours fade
 F           C               F             C F
Blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn

[Verse]

 C               F
Take me to the night I'm tippin'
 C            F                 C
Topsy-turvy, turnin' upside-down
 C                 F                C
Hold me tight and whisper what you wish for
          F               C F
There is no one here around
 F                    G
There's magic in the sleepiness
    C            F                G
Of waking to a childish sounding yawn
                  C
Come watch the no-colours fade
 F           C               F             C F
