[Verse 1]
E                  A
  The kiss of Venus has 
  got me on the go
E                         
  She’s scored a bullseye

  in the early morning glow
                  E
Early morning glow

[Verse 2]
E                       A
  Packed with illusions, our 
  world is turned around
E                        
  This golden circle has 
    Bm            A
  a most harmonic sound
         E
Harmonic sound

[Chorus]
Am                             E
  And in the sunshine where we stand 
  alone
Am                          C#m
  We came together with our secrets 
  blown
    B
Our secrets blown

[Verse 3]
E                   A
  Now moving slowly, we circle 
  through the square
E                            Bm
  Two passing planets in the sweet, 
  sweet summer air
A              E
  Sweet summer air

[Chorus]
Am                             E
  And in the sunshine where we stand 
  alone
Am                          C#m
  We came together with our secrets 
  blown
    B
Our secrets blown

[Bridge]
G                            D
  Reflected mountains in the lake
                    Am
Is this too much to take?
                E
Asleep or wide awake?
G                            D
  And if the world begins to shake
                        Am
Would something have to break?
                 E
We have to stay awake
