[Verse 1]
F# C#/F# F#7
The time has come for me to tell you
B/F# Bm6/F#
All the things I really feel about you
F# C#/F# F#7
'Cause lately time's been moving on
B/F# Bm6/F# F# E/F# B6/F#
And every day we seem to grow a little ol - der, too
F# C#/F# F#7
The more I think of you the less I seem
B/F# Bm6/F#
To know the way I feel about you
F# C#/F# F#7
And all I think is all I know
B/F# Bm6/F# F# E/F# B6/F#
And all I know is all I want to think a-bout is you
[Verse 2]
F# C#/F# F#7
I used to think I knew it all
B/F# Bm6/F#
And that the love you gave was mine for keeping
F# C#/F# F#7
I guess I cared too much for you back then
B/F# Bm6/F# F# E/F#
To see the simple magic of it all
F# C#/F# F#7
I long to see the things we saw
B/F# Bm6/F#
When we were young and could not see so clearly
F# C#/F# F#7 B/F#
When all the world was just a blur of coloured lines
Bm6/F# F# E/F# B/F#
That I traced most sincerely back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'd say
[Chorus]
Bm/D F#/C#
"Time to rest your weary head
Bm/D F#/C#
Take your wings and go to bed
B F#/A# B F#/A# F#m/A Em9/G Bm/D F#m/A
I know you want to know it all, my dar - ling"
And I'd say
F#6,9,11 G#m7 D#m7
"Set me down and rock me
C#11 F# B/F# B#/F#
Rock me to sleep"
[Verse 3]
F# C#/F# F#7
I see the sparkle in your eyes
B/F# Bm6/F#
You say I'm beautiful and I believe you
F# C#/F# F#7
And I will never feel more beautiful
B/F# Bm6/F# F# E/F#
Than when I'm wide awake beside you
F# C#/F# F#7
I will wander far and wide and wonder
B/F# Bm6/F#
How it feels to fall in love with someone
F# C#/F# F#7 B/F#
Without the need to show her everything I've learned
Bm6/F# F#9 B/F#
About the world since you've been gone
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'd say
[Chorus]
Bm/D F#/C#
"Time to rest your weary head
Bm/D F#/C#
Take your wings and go to bed
B F#/A# B F#/A# F#m/A Em9/G Bm/D F#m11/A
I know you want to show it all, my dar - ling"
And I'd say
F#6,9,11 G#m7 D#m7
"Set me down and rock me
C#11
Rock me to sleep"
(4/4) (6/4)
F# C#/F# | F#7 B/F# Bm6/F# |
F# C#/F# | F#7 B/F# |
B/F# |
[Verse 4]
F# C#/F# F#7
There was a time, it seemed the time itself
B/F# Bm6/F#
Was free and would go on forever
F# C#/F# F#7
Wanted to cling to it but now I see
B9/F# Bm/F# F#9 E/F# B/F#
It's fading years its greatest treasure, ooh, oo - ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'd say
[Chorus]
Bm/D F#/C#
"Time to rest my weary head
Bm/D F#/C#
Take my wings and go to bed
B F#/A# B F#/A# F#m/A Em9/G Bm/D F#m11/A
I know you want to feel it all, my dar - ling"
And I'd say
F#6,9,11 G#m7 D#m7
"Set me down and rock me
F# G#m7 D#m7
Oh, set me down and rock me
F#6,9,11 G#m7 D#m7
Oh darling, set me down and rock me
C#7sus4
Rock me to sleep"
F#
