[Verse 1]
Em
A winter palace
Em7/G
From the Arabian nights
Em
White waves on an ocean
Em7/G
Gems from a golden age
Bm           G
Life in your new world
        A              E7sus4  A
Turning round and round
Bm               G
Making some sense
                 A            Am
Where there's no sense at all
                        C
Na na na na na na na na   Na na na na na na na na
Em
No promises
                  D
But if you should fall

[Verse 2]
Em
Stars die in the silence
Em7/G
Of Arabian nights
Em
Wind washes the seasons
Em7/G
In these days of a golden age
Bm           G
Life in your new world
        A              E7sus4  A
Turning round and round
Bm               G
Making some sense
                 A            Am
Where there's no sense at all
                        C
Na na na na na na na na   Na na na na na na na na
Em
No promises
                  D    C
But if you should fall

[Bridge]
                 Am
I could give you more
              D               C
Than just the shape of things
            Am
Break every word
         D
Begin it all again
C
Your name on a white sheet
D
Pure lace shot with passion
Eb
But as love lies
                 F
Bleeding in your hands Heaven sends you
Em
No promises
Em7/G
Of Arabian nights
Em
No white waves on an ocean
Em7/G
No gems from a golden age
Bm           G
Life in your new world
        A              E7sus4  A
Turning round and round
Bm               G
So make some sense
                 A            Am
Where there's no sense at all
                        C
Na na na na na na na na   Na na na na na na na na I give you

Em
No promises
                  D
But if you should fall You fall
Em                        Em7/G
Na na na na na na na na   Na na na na na na na na

Em
No promises
                  D
But if you should fall
Em                        Em7/G
Na na na na na na na na   Na na na na na na na na
Em                        Em7/G
Na na na na na na na na   Na na na na na na na na
