Dm  Am  Em  G
Dm  Am  Em  G

[Verse 1]
                   Dm  
It's a trick of my mind
                         Am         
Two faces bathing in the screenlight
         Em                  G   
She's so soft and warm in my arms
                   Dm   
I tune it into the scene
                            Am       
My hands are resting on her shoulders
           Em                 G    
When we're dancing away for a while
         Dm                    
Oh we're moving, we're falling,
   Am                
We step into the fire
       Em                             G    
By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
           Dm             
There's no reason to hurry
     Am                        
Just start that brand new story
        Em                              G    
Set it alight, we're head over heels in love,
Head over heels...

[Chorus]
Dm                          
The ringing of your laughter
   Am                  
It sounds like a melody
Em                      
To once forbidden places
      G             
We'll go for a while
Dm                          
The ringing of your laughter
   Am                  
It sounds like a melody
Em                      
To once forbidden places
      G             
We'll go for a while

[Instrumental]
Dm  Am  Em  G

[Verse 2]
                  Dm  
It's the definite show
                           Am       
Our shadows resting in the moonlight
        Em                       G   
It's so clear and bright in your eyes
                       Dm   
It's the touch of your sighs
                            Am      
My lips are resting on your shoulder
           Em                 G   
When we're moving so soft and slow
            Dm                    
We need the ecstasy, the jealousy,
    Am            
The comedy of love
         Em                            G   
Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before
             Dm                   
Give me more tragedy, more harmony
    Am              
And fantasy, my dear
            Em                              G  
And set it alight, just starting that satellite
Set it alight...

[Chorus]
Dm                          
The ringing of your laughter
   Am                  
It sounds like a melody
Em                      
To once forbidden places
      G             
We'll go for a while
Dm                          
The ringing of your laughter
   Am                  
It sounds like a melody
Em                      
To once forbidden places
      G                      Dm   
We'll go for, we'll go for a while

[Instrumental]
(Dm) Am  Em  G
Dm  Am  Em  G  x3

[Chorus]
Dm                          
The ringing of your laughter
   Am                  
It sounds like a melody
Em                      
To once forbidden places
      G             
We'll go for a while
Dm                          
The ringing of your laughter
   Am                  
It sounds like a melody
Em                      
To once forbidden places
      G             
We'll go for a while

[Outro]
Dm  Am  EmG
