INTRO:   1,  57,  1,  57

          1               *            4               1
Close the door, light the light, we're staying home to-night
      *            6m             1           57
Far a-way from the bustle and the bright city lights
         1          37        4          1
Let them all fade a-way, just leave us a-lone
          3m        57           1    *
And we'll live in a world of our own____


CHORUS:

17               *            1         57               1
.. We'll build a world of our own, that no one else will share
        *             *            57      *
All our sorrows we'll leave far be-hind us there
      1                *              4           1
And I know that you'll find, there'll be peace of mind
        *         57           1    *
When we live in a world of our own____


      1           *          4                1
Oh my love, oh my love, I've cried for you so much
       *              6m                1               57
Lonely nights without sleeping, while I longed for your touch
         1          37        4              *
Now your lips can e-rase, the heartache I've known
          3m      57           1    *
Come with me to a world of our own____
