[F#] [D#m] [F#]
[B]
Amazing Grace [D#m] filled guiding light,
[D#] [G#m] to see her safely home [F#] tonight.
[B] These dance squares [A#] have grown bright and loud, [D#]
[G#m] since I lived there with the [F#] twilight crowd.
[E] The west end [C#]
lights have lost their [F#] wow, [E]
trail by Ethos, children [B] in the heart of her.
[G#m] [E]
I'm Ethos, wondering [B] if I should [G#m] follow, [F#] or lay low.
[B] Sweet [A#] slidery, sting bright, night smile, [G#m]
heels back, the [C#m] lyric, big [F#] city style, [B] and
reveals me [A#] in the mystery, [D#]
[G#m] what the [F#] world could mean to me.
[E] She's an island [C#] girl, I'm [F#] lost at sea.
[B]
When I was young, the radio [E] played just for me, [Gm] to [F#] save me.
[B] And I [Bm] don't want anyone, [E] who wants me, [G] baby.

[B] Churning out the darkness, [G#m]
turning on [C#] the dawn.
[G#m]
If life was like the songs, I'd surf across the curved horizon, [F#] and forget her, and [B] be gone.
So I check my [D#m] map for tiny [C#m] signs, [E] of where she's [D#] at, and where [F#] she's been.
[B] But it's made from [D#m] scraps of stupid [E] lines, from songs [F#] and scenes and magazines.
[E]
It doesn't tell [C#m] me what it [F#]
means, [E] take her face, out of [B] sight of the [G#m] day for me.
[B] [E]
I'm half crazed, [C#m] wondering if I [B] should [G#m] follow, [C#] or let [E] it [F#] go.
[B] Can't get straight, [G#m] lost my way.
I'm overcome [C#m] by her spell.

[F#] [B] Churning out the darkness, [E]
turning on [C#] the dawn.
[B] If life was like [G#m] the songs, [F#] I'd surf into [C#m] the [E] waves, and in a splash [F#] of silver, [B] she'd be gone.
[G#m]
[B]
This is [D#m] the way,
[E] I [F#] always dreamed it would be.
[B] The way [D#m] that it is, [E]
when [Em] you were [F#] holding me.
[C#m] And I [E] never had, the love of my life.
[F#] And maybe that's why, when
