[Intro]  C/G

C/G            Am         F
Last night so sharp was feeling
G      F            G         C/G
So tender were our lips and hands
C/G    Am     F              G
In your arms our sound was light
F                G        C/G
All was joy and all was love

C/G       Am         F        G      C/G
My young man don't make your mind up yet
C/G                     Am        F        G         C/G
Won't you look into my heart and see that all of my blood is still red
C/G             Am       F      G      C/G
Alive from the moon and all of those words left unsaid
C/G       Am    F        G         C/G
My young man, come lie down in my bed
C/G    Am   F  G      F         G       C/G
Don't you, don't you make your mind up yet

C/G       Am       F      G
Night is long, and we forget
      F                 G        C/G
The earth has turned halfway around
C/G     Am        F  G        F
And in the still movement of sleep
         G      C/G
We have also turned

C/G       Am         F        G      C/G
My young man don't make your mind up yet
C/G                     Am        F        G         C/G
Won't you look into my heart and see that all of my blood is still red
C/G             Am       F      G      C/G
Alive from the moon and all of those words left unsaid
C/G       Am    F        G         C/G
My young man, come lie down in my bed
C/G    Am   F  G      F         G       C/G
Don't you, don't you make your mind up yet

C/G     Am       F           G
You're the sun, and I'm the land
F                     G        C/G
Give me all of your fear and fire
C/G      Am        F          G
I'm the moon and you're the waves
F                     G     C/G
I'll make you move as I desire

C/G       Am         F        G      C/G
My young man don't make your mind up yet
C/G                     Am        F        G         C/G
Won't you look into my heart and see that all of my blood is still red
C/G             Am       F      G      C/G
Alive from the moon and all of those words left unsaid

My young man, come lie down in my bed
C/G    Am   F  G      F         G       C/G
Don't you, don't you make your mind up yet
