[Intro Chorus]
G C
You could meet somebody,You never know,
G C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,
G C
Into giant oak`s that hide the sun,
G C
Life in the shadows ain`t no fun.

[Verse One]
G C
It`s easy getting up there,Never think of coming down,
G
Not hard to say i want you,When you`re floating on a cloud,
G C
But you know that lonely feeling when nothings going right,
G C
`Cause it`s only the beginning of a cold and sleepless night.

[Chorus One]
G C
You could meet somebody,You never know,
G C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,
G C
Into giant oak`s that hide the sun,
G C
Your only chance is to turn and run.

[Lyricon Instrumental]

[Verse Two]
G C
It`s harder getting up there,And it`s painful coming down,
G C
And now you can`t see clearly,Beneath the thunder cloud,
G C
And the loneliness gets longer when nothing`s going right,
G C
And things ain`t getting any better with another sleepless night.

[Chorus Two]
G C
You could meet somebody,You never know,
G C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,
G C
Into giant oak`s that hide the sun,
G C
Your only chance is to turn and run.

From brief encounters,Habits grow,

Into giant oaks that hide the sun,

Your only chance is to turn and run.

[Chorus Four]

You could meet somebody,You never know,
G C
From brief encounters,Habits grow,

Into giant oaks that hide the sun,

Your only chance is to turn and run.
