_ _ _ _ _ _
Amazing [C] grace, field guide light, [Bb] _ _ _
See her [F] safely _ _ [C]
hold the night.
_ [F] _
The east side squares have grown cold and loud,
_ [Bb] _ Since I lived [C] there with the twilight crowd.
_ _ [Bb] _ _
West end [C] lights have lost their wow,
[Bb] And trail of _ _ _ [D] thoughts show me the way to [F] the heart of her. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ Lost, _ _
[D] wondering if I should _ [F] _
follow,
_ But [C] lay low, [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ heels [Bb] back, the layered big city sky, _ _
_ [F] _ _ Reveals me in a mystery, _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Bb] what her [C] world could mean to [Bb] me.
_ She's an island girl, [C]
I'm lost at sea, _ _
_ When I was young, the radio _ played [Bb]
just for me.
_ [C] It saves me, _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ now I don't want _ _ who [Bb] wants me. _ _ _
Maybe, _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
tearing out the darkness, _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Turning on the [G] dawn,
_ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [C] If life was like the songs, I'd surf [Bb] across the [C] herbed red.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ So I check the map [C] for tiny signs,
_ _ [Dm] _
_ [Bb] Wishes _ [C] and _ wishes,
_ _ [F] _
_ _ Made from [C] scraps of stupid lines,
_ _ [Dm] _
_ Songs and [C] scenes in magazines,
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ That don't tell [F]
me what it [C] means,
_ [Bb] _
_ [Cm] Tear _ _ [Bb]
her face out of the [F] start of a day for _ me.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _
Lost, [Bb] _ _ wondering if I should [F] _ follow,
[F] _
_ _ [C] But lay _ _ low, _ _ _ can't get used to being _ _ _ [Dm] lost,
But believe, _ I'm overcome.
[G] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ When I was young, the radio played [Bb] just for me.
_ [F] It saves [C] me, _ _ _ _ _
now I _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] don't want who wants me.
_ _ [C] _ Maybe, _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _
tearing out, _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Turning on the [G] dawn,
_ [Am] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [C] If life were like the songs,
I'd surf into [C] the waves,
And in a [B] splash of silver, _ _ _
[F] She'd be gone. _ _ _ _
