[Intro Chorus]
G                              C
You could meet somebody,You never know,
G                     C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,
G                     C
Into giant oak`s that hide the sun,
G                  C
Life in the shadows ain`t no fun.

[Verse One]
G                                   C
It`s easy getting up there,Never think of coming down,
         G                             
Not hard to say i want you,When you`re floating on a cloud,
            G                            C
But you know that lonely feeling when nothings going right,
            G                           C
`Cause it`s only the beginning of a cold and sleepless night.

[Chorus One]
G                              C
You could meet somebody,You never know,
G                     C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,
G                     C
Into giant oak`s that hide the sun, 
G                      C
Your only chance is to turn and run.

[Lyricon Instrumental]

G   G   C   C   G   G   C   C   G   G   C   C   G   G   C   C   

[Verse Two]
G                                      C
It`s harder getting up there,And it`s painful coming down,
     G                                C
And now you can`t see clearly,Beneath the thunder cloud,
        G                             C
And the loneliness gets longer when nothing`s going right,
     G                                     C
And things ain`t getting any better with another sleepless night.

[Chorus Two]
G                              C
You could meet somebody,You never know,
G                     C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,
G                     C
Into giant oak`s that hide the sun,
G                      C
Your only chance is to turn and run.

[Chorus Three]
G                              C
You could meet somebody,You never know,
G                     C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,
G                    C
Into giant oaks that hide the sun,
G                      C
Your only chance is to turn and run.

[Chorus Four]
G                              C
You could meet somebody,You never know,
G                     C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,
G                     C
Into giant oaks that hide the sun,
G                      C
Your only chance is to turn and run.
