A blue jean serenade

The change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire
  Db5/Ab      Db5/Bb  Db5/Gb   Db5
She said she'd always knew he'd come around

     Db5              Bbm
And the decades disappear like sinking ships, but we persevere
       Gb        Gb/Bb   Gb    Db
God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know
   Db
The mind is poison


Pre Chorus:

 Castles in the sky sit stranded vandalized
    Eb7/G
With drawbridges closing

He's getting ready for the showdown

 I saw the ending when they turned the page
      Ab/C      Db
I threw my money and I ran away
         Fm         Ab
Straight to the valley of the great divide


Bridge:
            Db
Out where the dreams all hide
        Ab     Gb
Out where the wind don't blow
       Ab/C    Bbm
Out here the good girls die (die)
     Ab    Db
And the sky won't snow
       Fm     Gb
Out here the bird don't sing
       Ab     Gb
Out here the field don't grow
       Ab/C    Bbm
Out here the bell don't ring

 Out here the bell don't ring
            Db/Ab
Out here the good girls die (die)


Chorus:
Db/Ab             Gbmaj7/Bb
 Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep
                Ab/C
It's such a bitter form of refuge
                    Db
Ah don't you know the kingdom's under siege
    Fm
And everybody needs you

Gb        Fm      F7/A  Bbm
 Is there still magic in the midnight sun
      Ab/C         Db
Or did you leave it back in sixty-one
     Fm           Gb
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
        Ab    Db
Out where the dreams all hide
