1. In my room I can keep everything within reach,

C F C - G

all the switches and fittings are new.

C F C G C

I have tapped on the walls and I've paced out the floor,

C F C - G

and I know every inch of the ceiling, too.

Em F - C - G Em F - C - G

But I keep seeing you, yes, I keep seeing you.

2. In my room I have built a religion of a kind,

C F C - G

I've found virtue in things that stay the same.

C F C G C

In my room I measure time by the things that I use up,

C F C - G

and just like my shopping list I will never change.

Em F - C - G Em F - C - G

But I keep seeing you, yes, I keep seeing you.

C G Dm - F

And I don't recognise where I am,

C G Dm - F

all the shapes and the shadows start to spin,

C G Dm - F

because you're the one that finally let me in

C - D C - D

to my roo.....m, in my roo.....m.

3. In my room a river runs along the wall above my bed,

in my room a mountain stands behind the door.

C F C G C

There is nothing I'm denied, I don't need to go outside,

F G - G7

because in my room I cannot ask for mo.....re.

C G Dm - F

‘Cause I don't recognise where I am,

C G Dm - F

all the shapes and the shadows start to spin,

C G

because you're the one that finally showed me

Em F G

that I've never been here before.

Em F G

No, I don't think that I've been here before,

Dm F G

no, I don't think that I've been here before,

Dm F G

no, I don't think that I've been here before.

C G Dm - F

'Cause I don't recognise where I am,

C G Dm - F

all the shapes and the shadows start to spin,

C G Dm F

because you're the one that finally let me in, you finally let me in

C - D C - D C - D C - D - D

to my roo.....m, to my roo....m, to my roo....m, in my roo.....m.
