[B] played this one for a [D#] while.
[G#m]
[F#] [D#m]
[F#] [B]
Amazing grace filled guiding light, [E]
see her [E] safely home [F#] tonight.
[B] East end squares glow bright and loud, [E] since I lived there [F#] with the twilight bride.
[E] The west end [B] lights have lost [F#] their wow, [E] trail my thoughts,
showing my grave in the [G#m] heart of her.
[B]
[G#m] [E] I'm half lost, [C#m] wondering if I [B] should follow [G#m] [C#] or let it [F#] go.
[B]
Sweet slight arresting bright light smile,
[D#] [E] fuels back the electric city [F#] style.
[B]
Refuse me in the mystery,
[E] what the world [B] could mean [F#] to me.
[E]
She's an island [E] girl I'm lost [D#m] at sea.
[B] When I was young the radio [E] played just for me.
[Em] It [F#] saved me, [B] and I don't want anyone who wants me, [Em] baby.
[F#]
[B] Chilling out the darkness, [E]
turning on [G#] the dawn.
[C#]
If [B] life is like the songs that [F#] surf across the curved horizon,
then forget her and be [B] gone.
So I checked my map for tiny signs, [D#m]
where she's [F#] at, where she's been.
[B] But it's made from scraps of stupid [D#m] lines, [E]
[G#] songs and scenes and magazines.
[E] It doesn't [F#] tell me what it [G#] means.
[E] Take [C#m]
her [E] face out of the sky for the [B] day for me.
[G#m]
[E] I'm half crazed, wondering [A#] if I should [G#m] follow [C#] or let [F#] it go.
[B] Can't get straight, [G#m] lost my way.
I'm overcome [C#m] by her spell.

It [Em] saved [F#] me, [B]
and I don't want anyone [E] who wants me, [Em]
baby.
[F#] Chilling out the darkness, [E]
turning [C#] on the dawn.
[B] If life was like the [G#m] songs [F#] I'd surf [E] into the wings,
and in a splash [F#] of silver [B] she'd be gone.
This was [D#m] the way I [E]
[F#] always dreamed it would [B] be.
The way [D#m] that it
[E] is when you [Em] are holding [C#] me.
[G] I never [F#] had a love of my own.
[E] Maybe [F#] that's why I'm real all alone.
[B] I can hear music.
