Away From You chords by Sarah Brightman

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

Cdim7 C
Away from you
 Dm7  G
There is no music,
  C7    F
There is no sunlight,
 Dm G   Cmaj9
The world is gray.
Cdim7 C
Away from you
 Dm7  G
The clocks are frozen,
  C7    F
And time's a traveller
Dm7  G7   C
Who's lost his way.

Refrain:

  F
The people I meet
  Gm
Might as well be statues,
  Bb
The words we exchange
     C
Might as well be Greek.
  F
The room that I'm in
     G7 Em
May be bright and cheerful
  Am   D      G
But to me it's dim and bleak.

Verse 2:

Cdim7 C
I'm half alive
Dm7  G
Until the moment
  C7    F
The door swings open
Dm G   Cmaj9
And you walk through.
 F
Now my world starts to glow
  G
Like a stained-glass window
  Am
And what was old and cold
  G
Is warm and new.
 Cdim7 C
And so you see
  F G  Am
Why I can never be
  D F  G    C
Away from you.

Verse 3:

Cdim7 C
Away from you
Dm7  G
The world is lifeless
C7    F
As though creation
Dm G   Cmaj9
Has gone awry.
Cdim7 C
The trees are bare,
Dm7  G
There are no flowers,
C7    F
The fields are thirsty,
Dm7  G7   C
The streams are dry.

Refrain:

  F
We live, you and I,
 Gm
For a breath of sunlight,
    Bb
So brief an escape
   C
From a world of gray.
  F
Our moments of warmth
          G7   Em
Have been touch and go, love,
  Am        D     G
But tonight, we'll touch and stay.

Refrain:

F
The people I meet
Gm
Might as well be statues,
    Bb
The words we exchange
   C
Might as well be Greek.
  F
The room that I'm in
G7   Em
May be bright and cheerful
  Am        D     G
But to me it's dim and bleak.

Verse 4:

Cdim7 C
I'm half alive
Dm7  G
Until the moment
C7    F
The door swings open
Dm G   Cmaj9
And you walk through.
  F
Now my soul is afloat
 G
On a wave of music
    Am
That I could feel such joy
  G
I never knew.
Cdim7 C
And so you see
  F  G  Am
Why I can never be
  D  F  G   C
Away from you.
