[E] [Ab] [A]
[G] [Am] Tonight's the night, set in my stars [Dm] That love would be round [C] the next bend
[Am] I felt for a while that my runner's good luck
[Dm] Wouldn't have come [Am] to an [E] end
[Em] [A] This world was not made for me, no no no no no no
There [Dm] was you, [Am] there was [C] I [Am] didn't see And the sky, there [Dm] was really no need [Am] to pretend
[Em] I [Am] said I am a girl, [B] lips of a [E] girl Could it be you or [Am] a call from my soul?
Could it be somewhere that [Dm] I dare not dream?
[E] Could it be you, [Am] be you?

[G] [Am] Skull faced moon, doll faced you [Dm] Grinning with mystique [C] tonight
[G] [Am] The shimmer of stars, the whisper of wind [Dm] This minute tonight [C] is the night [G] I [Am] saw
I am a girl, [Dm] lips of a [E] girl Could it be you [Am] or a call from my soul?
Could it be somewhere [Dm] that I dare not dream?
[Ab] Could [E] it be you, [Am] be you?
Unlock the secret door to my [D] heart [E] Open the gate [Am] that leads to my heart
Touch of a tempter, [D] touch of a siren [E] Could it be you, [Am] be you?
[E] The desperate eyes, [Am] the [E] scent of the flowers You poured in my room [Dm] makes me think [Am] of you
[Em] Desperate eyes, [Am] the [E] scent of the flowers You poured in my room [Dm] makes me think [Am] of you
[E] The desperate [Am] eyes, the [E] scent of the flowers You poured in my room [Dm] makes me think [A] of you
In my dream I [Am] see eyes of a girl, [Dm] lips of a [E] girl Could it be you [Am] or a call from my soul?
Could it be [Dm] somewhere that I dare not [Ab] dream?
[E] Could it be you, [Am] be you?
Unlock the secret door to my [E] heart Open the gate [Am] that leads to my heart
