C Am Em D C Am Once we are born, we begin to forget Em D The very reason we came C Am But you Em D I’m sure I’ve met C Am Long before the night the stars went out Em D We’re meeting up again

Chorus

C Am Em D Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go. C Am Em D Hold me close like I’m someone that you might know C Am Em D Hold me close the darkness just lets us see C Am Who we are Em D I’ve got your life inside of me C Am Em D 2x Iris… Iris… MIDDLE G Am Em D The stars are bright but do they know G Am Em D The universe is beautiful but cold OUTRO/CHORUS C You took me by the hand Am Em I thought that I was leading you D C But it was you made me your man Am Machine Em I dream D Where you are C Am Iris standing in the hall Em D She tells me I can do it all C Am Iris wakes to my nightmares Em D Don’t fear the world it isn’t there C Am Iris playing on the strand Em D She buries the boy beneath the sand, C Am Em Iris says that I will be the death of her D It was not me C Am Em D 2x Iris… Iris… Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourself Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see…
