D Bm Gm Bm F#m G
[Verse 1]
D Bm
He falls asleep on her chest
Gm
The best sleep he’d ever met
Bm F#m G A D
Nevertheless he dreams of some stranger’s caress
Bm
He awakes and he knows
Gm
Maybe someone else is supposed
Bm F#m G A D
To meet his hazy anticipating eyes
[Verse 2]
D Bm
He draws the curtains aside
Bm Gm
Unfolding the first morning light
Bm F#m G A D
He glan-ces at his disenchanted life
[Chorus]
D Bm
Restlessness is me, you see (you see)
Gm Bm F#m
It’s hard to be safe (hard...)
G A D
It’s difficult to be happy

D Bm
It’s a changing of the seasons
Bm Gm
He says I need them
Bm F#m G A D
I guess I'm too Scandinavian
[Verse 4]
D Bm
The relief of spring
Bm Gm
Intoxication of summer rain
Gm Bm
The clearness of fall
F#m G A7 D
How winter makes me reconsider it all
[Chorus]
D Bm
Restlessness is me, you see (you see)
Gm Bm F#m
It’s hard to be safe (hard.. )
G A D
It’s difficult to be happy

Then she awakes

Reaches for the embrace

He decides not

To worry about seasons again
