This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

[Dm]Like a cat

Dragged in from the [F?]rain

Who goes [Dm]straight back out

To [F]do it all over [B]again

I'll be back for [Dm]more

[Dm]It's something

That is out of our [F]hands

[Dm]Something we will [F]never under[B]stand

It's a hidden [Dm]law

The apple [C]falls

Destiny [B]calls

I follow[F] you

[F]

{comment: of course, it's not too close to source :-)}

Like a [Dm]pawn

On the eternal [F]board

Who's [Dm]never quite sure

[F]What he's moved [B]towards

I walk blindly [Dm]on

And heaven is in front of [F]me

[Dm]Your heaven beckons [F]me enticingly[B]

When I arrive

It's [Dm]gone

The river [C]flows

The wise man [B]knows

I follow [F]you

[F]

[C]I'm yearning

[B]I'm burning

[C]I feel love's [B]wheels turning [C]

[C7]

Like a [Dm]moth on love's bright [F]light

[Dm]I will get burned

[F]Each and every [B]night

I'm dying [Dm]to(o)

The sun will[C] shine

The bottom [B]line

I follow[F] you

[C]I'm yearning

[B]I'm burning

[C]I feel love's [B]wheels turning [C]

[C7]

Like a [Dm]moth on love's bright [F]light

[Dm]I will get burned

[F]Each and every [B]night

I'm dying [Dm]to(o)

The sun will [C]shine

The bottom [B]line

I follow [F]you

The sun will [Cbm-5]shine

The bottom [Bm6]line

I follow [F]you
