D                   Dsus
Welcome home please stay awhile
D                     Dsus
This place sure could use a smile
D                 Dsus
Let's catch up on what we missed
D                         Dsus
Am I only dreaming this
Dm                       Am
Mostly hearts get traded sort of situated
Dm                      Am                   
Wait for better days to come
Dm                   Am
This civilization is not too civilized
Bbmaj7 Gm7      Bmaj7       D   Dsus D
But        baby you make it all one
D              Dsus
When attracted opposites 
D                  Dsus
Sometimes meet and can't resist
D               Duss
What each other has to give
D                             Dsus
Are they only dreaming this
Dm                            Am
Streams of consciousness with pools of kissing fishes
Dm                       Am
Speaking words in French for love
Dm                       Am
Clouds of purple curling sends emotion swirling
Bbmaj7  Gm7  Bbmaj7       D  Dsus  D
Baby         you make it all one
