[B] [E] [F#]
[E] [B]
We stood in the windy [F#] city, [E] the gypsy [F#] boy [B] and I.
We slept on [E] the [F#] breeze in the midnight, [E] with raindrop [F#] and [B] tears in our eyes.
[E] And who's going [F#] to be [B] the one to [E] [B] say it was [F#] no good what [B] we done?
[G#m] I dare a man [F#] to say I'm [B] too young, [E] for [G#m] I'm going [F#] to try [B] for the sun.
We huddled in the [F#] derelict building, [E] and when he [F#] thought I [B] was asleep,
he lay his [E] poor [B] coat [F#] round the shoulder, [G#m] and shivered there [F#] beside me [B] in a heap.
[E] And [B] who's [F#] going to be [B] the one [E] to say it [F#] was no good [B] what we done?
[E] I dare a [F#] man to say I'm [B] too young, [E] for I'm going [F#] to try [B] for the sun.
We sang and cracked the sky [F#] with laughter, [E] our breath turned [F#] to mist [B] in the cold.
Our years put together [F#] count thirty, [E] but our eyes told [F#] the dawn that we [B] were old.
[E] And [B] who's going [F#] to be [B] the one [E] to say [B] it was [F#] no good what [B] we done?
[E] I dare [B] a man [F#] to say I'm [B] too young, [E] for I'm going [F#] to try for [B] the sun.
[E] [B] [F#]
[B] [E] [F#] [B]
Mirror, mirror, hanging [F#] in the sky, [E] won't you look down [F#] for what's happening [B] here below?
I stand [E] here singing [B] to [F#] the flowers, [E] so very few [F#] people [B] really know.
And [E] who's going to [F#] be [B] the one [E] to say it was no [F#] good [B] what we done?
[E] I dare a [F#] man to say I'm [B] too young, [E] for I'm going [B] to [F#] try [B] for the sun.
We stood [E] in the [B] windy [F#] city, [E] the gypsy [F#] boy [B] and I.
We slept on the [E] [B] breeze in [F#] the midnight, [E] with the rain dropping [F#] [B] tears in our eyes.
[E] And who's [B] going to [F#] be [B] the one to [E] say it was no [F#] good [B] what we done?
[E] I dare a [F#] man to say I'm [B] too young, [G#m]
for I'm going [F#] to try [B] for the sun.
