Em C D Bm
It's a long, long way from here to there
C Am D
Silent shadows over the dateline
Em C D Bm
We both stare at the same blue moon
C D Em
Under the sheltering sky
Em C D Bm
Some say love is the rarest word
C Am D
Some say truth's just a point of contention
Em C D Bm
I know we have a love never mentioned
C D Em
Under the sheltering sky
E C#m F#m B7
Will we wake from an endless dream
E C#m A B7
Will our walls come tumbling around us
G Em Am D
I can hear a silent scream
G B7
Crying in the night
Em C D Bm
Am I fading in your eyes
C Am D
Is my memory clear as the day we met
Em C D Bm
For now we must both remain
C D Em
Under the sheltering sky
C D Em
Under the sheltering sky
