Bm Em G Bm C(add9)
You will rest your head, your strength wants saving.
Em G Bm C(add9)
And when you wake you will fly away,
Em G Bm C(add9)
Holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Em G Bm D/F#
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
C(add9)
In your blue, blue world,
You're my ba--by blue.
