Key: :[D] (w: Jeff Lynne)
VERSE 1:
[D] The city streets are empty
[E] now
(the lights don't shine no more)
[Em] And so the songs are way down
[Gm] low
(turning, [A] turning, turning)
[D] A sound that flows into my
[E] mind
(the echo's of the daylight)
[Em] Of everything that is a-
[Gm]-live
(in [A] my blue [D] world) [D]

VERSE 2:
[D] The dying embers of the
[E] night
(a fire that slowly fades till dawn)
[Em] Still glow upon the wall so
[Gm] bright
(turning, [A] turning, turning)
[D] The tired streets that hide a-
[E]-way
(from here to everywhere they go)
[Em] Roll past my door into the
[Gm] day
(in [A] my blue [D] world) [D]

BRIDGE:
Yes, I'm
[A# open] turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home

Yes, I'm

[D]
VERSE 4:
The
[D] dancing shadows on the
[E] wall
(the two-steps in the hall)
[Em] are all I see since you've been
[Gm] gone
(turning, [A] turning, turning)
[D] Through all I sit here and I
[E] wait
(I turn to stone, I turn to stone)
[Em] You will return again some
[Gm] day
(to [A] my blue [D] world) [D]
