Full Song

Verse 1

G C G D

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea

G C G D

You became the light on the dark side of me

G C G D

Love remained a drug that’s the high and not the pill

G C G

But did you know that when it snows

D

My eyes become large and

G D

The light that you shine can be seen?

Chorus

G C G

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey

D G

Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah

C G

And now that your rose is in bloom

D G

A light hits the gloom on the grey

Verse 2

G C G D

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say

G C G D

You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby

G C G D

To me you’re like a growing addiction that I can’t deny, yeah

G C G

Won’t you tell me is that healthy, baby?

D

But did you know

G D

That when it snows, my eyes become large

G D

And the light that you shine can be seen?
