And if I say to you to-mor-row

Take my hand child come with me. 
  2  3*-4  4* -4  3* 3*  -2*   2
It's to a cas-tle I will take you 
 2      3*   -4 3*  -4   3   2  -2*2  
Well, what's to be they say will be. 

 -3   -3   -3  -3  -3  -3
Catch the wind see us spin 
  3 -3 -3    3   -3 -3
Sail a-way leave to-day 
 3  -3  -3  -3 -3  -33
Way up high in the sky. 
 -3  -3    3   -3    -3
Then the wind won't blow 
-3   4   4    -3   -3  -3
You real-ly should-n't go 
-3 3  -3  -3  -3 -33
It on-ly goes to show 
 -3  -4   -4  -4 -4-3
That you will be mine 
-3 -3  -4  -4  -4-3  -6*
By tak-in' our time. Ooh! 

 2  3* -4   3* -4 3* 3* -2*  2

Oh what fun it all would be, 
 2     3*   -4  4*  -4   3*  3* -2* 2
Then what's to stop us, pret-ty ba-by, 
 2   3*  -4  3*  -4     3    2  2 -2*2
But What Is And What Should Nev-er Be.

So if you wake up with the sun-rise, 
 2   2   -4    4*   -4    3*  3* -2*2
And all your dreams are still as new, 
 2   3* -4  4*  -4  3*   3*  -2* 2   2
And hap-pi-ness is what you need so bad,

Girl, the an-swer lies with you, yeah.
