[E]The city streets are empty [F#]now (the lights don't shine no [F#m]more)
and so the songs are way down [Am]low, turning, [B]turning, turning
[E]A sound that flows into my [F#]mind (the echoes of the day[F#m]light)
of everything that is a[Am]live in [B]my blue [E]world
I [C#m]turn to stone when you are [G#mi]gone, I [F#m]turn to stone.[G#mi...A...B]
[C#m]Turn to stone when you co[G#mi]min' home, I [F#m]can't go on. [G#mi...A...B]
The dying embers of the night (a fire that slowly fades till dawn)
still glow upon the wall so bright, burning, burning, burning
The tired streets that hide away (from here to everywhere they go)
roll past my door into the day in my blue world
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Yes, [C]I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.
Why [F]you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone?
You've [D]been gone for so long and I can't carry on,
yes, [F]I'm turnin', I'm turnin', I'm turnin' to stone.
The dancing shadows on the wall (the two-step in the hall)
are all I see since you've been gone, turning, turning, turning
Through all I sit here and I wait (I turn to stone, I turn to stone)
You will return again some day to my blue world
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
and so the songs are way down [Am]low, turning, [B]turning, turning
[E]A sound that flows into my [F#]mind (the echoes of the day[F#m]light)
of everything that is a[Am]live in [B]my blue [E]world
I [C#m]turn to stone when you are [G#mi]gone, I [F#m]turn to stone.[G#mi...A...B]
[C#m]Turn to stone when you co[G#mi]min' home, I [F#m]can't go on. [G#mi...A...B]
The dying embers of the night (a fire that slowly fades till dawn)
still glow upon the wall so bright, burning, burning, burning
The tired streets that hide away (from here to everywhere they go)

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Yes, [C]I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.
Why [F]you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone?
You've [D]been gone for so long and I can't carry on,
yes, [F]I'm turnin', I'm turnin', I'm turnin' to stone.

I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
