(Intro)
In this bookcase full of stories
You find [Gm]some of them are true
[Dm]Tales of love and glory
Many [A7]lives of daring-do
There is [Dm]mystery and adventure
They lie [Gm]waiting there for you
So [Dm]step inside and [A7]find the other [Dm]you
Take the [Dm]high road tomorrow
But the [Gm]low road today
[Dm]Reading other's sorrow
Might just [A7]be the only way
The [Dm]father hears confession
While the [Gm]mother's feeling blue
These [Dm]characters do [A7]what you want them [Dm]to
In these [Gm7]page[C]s [Am7]we con[Dm]sume
[Gm]Lives in many colors [A7]lovers in full bloom
And through the [Gm7]age-[C]s [Am7]words are [Dm]born
[Gm]Speaking to the senses [A7]lifting the forlorn
There's [Dm]glamour and dementia
A [Gm]message from the tomb
[Dm]Staircase to the heavens
And [A7]secrets in the room
When you are [Dm]riding on that dark horse
To the [Gm]one that got away
There's [Dm]no regrets and [A7]no dues left to [Dm]pay
'Cause in these [Gm7]page[C]s [Am7]we con[Dm]sume
[Gm]Lives in many colors [A7]lovers in full bloom
And through the [Gm7]age-[C]s [Am7]words are [Dm]born
[Gm]Speaking to the senses [A7]lifting the forlorn
[Dm]Drifting down the river of the make believe
We laugh and grieve
[Dm]Hoping for an ending of our own design
Where all is fine
In these [Gm7]page[C]s [Am7]we con[Dm]sume
[Gm]Lives in many colors [A7]lovers in full bloom
