Sight And Touch

Sight And Touch   by   Chris De Burgh 


Am      F            G      Am 
My girl wakes in her bed of night, 
           F           G         Am 
Dressed in silver and dressed in white. 
               F           G        Am 
She says she's having the strangest dreams, 
    F      G        F 
Of another time and century. 


    Am       F          G       Am 
And now she speaks of a far-off place, 
              F            G      Am 
A woman and a man are in a deep embrace. 
           F          G          Am 
Don't they know it's against the law, 
        F         G      F              
Well it must have been before the war, long before; It was.... 
C    G          F              G         C 
Real love and devotion - (with sight and touch), 
     G         F              G         C 
Real love and emotion - (with sight and touch), 
     G          F                  Em                  Am 
Real love and devotion, before the modern world, ah ah ah. 


          F       G       Am 
She hears voices  in  her mind, 
            F            G       Am 
Talking of another world lost in time, 
            F     G       Am 
Before they took away the words, 
     F       G      F               
That told us how we used to be, our history; Words of.... 
C    G          F              G         C 
Real love and devotion - (with sight and touch), 
     G         F              G         C 
Real love and emotion - (with sight and touch), 
     G          F                  Em                  Am 
Real love and devotion, before the modern world, ah ah ah. 


           F         G      Am 
And now we live in a two by four, 
            F       G           Am 
Never going outside through the door. 
                 F         G     Am 
They're watching us on the video-line, 
       F       G      F                  
But we sit and wait until the night, and in the night; We have.... 
C      G          F              G         C 
Sweet love and devotion - (with sight and touch), 
     G         F              G         C 
Real love and emotion - (with sight and touch), 
       G          F                  Em                 Am 
Sweet love and devotion, it’s such a modern world, ah ah ah. 
C           G         F              G         C 
We're never gonna  be lonely - (with sight and touch), 
            G        F              G         C 
We're never gonna be lonely - (with sight and touch), 
            G        F                Em                  Am 
We're never gonna be lonely in such a modern world, ah ah ah.
