{verse}
D A Bm G x2
D A Bm
I want to trip inside your head
G
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
G A
Freedom has a scent
D Em
Like the top of a new born baby's head
G A
The songs are in your eyes
D Em
I see them when you smile
G A
I've seen enough, I'm not giving up
Bm (use intro/verse chords to fill)
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle drug, a miracle drug
A miracle drug
Bm A G
Bm A G
Oh God, I need your help tonight

I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
...} D A G
And it left me no illusion
{Verse riff}
I saw you in the curve of the moon / In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune / When I just heard confusion
D D5/C# D D5/C# A (repeat)
All because of you Verse riff picks off
All because of you All because of you I am
{Verse riff}
I like the sound of my own voice / I didn't give anyone else a choice
An intellectual tortoise / Racing with your bullet train
Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again
Chorus
All because of you / All because of you / All because of you

You can run from love

How can I hurt when I'm holding you?
I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And you're the one, there's no-one else
That makes me wanna lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman

ABut she was already mine
GYou were already mine F#m
Little sister
Ive been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
Ive been trying to feel complete again
But you're gone and so is God
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants the soul waits
No I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
For love and faith and sex and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
