A                         F#m7 
Across the street, the river runs 
A                                 F#m7 
down in the gutter life is slipping away 
A                       F#m7 
Let me still exist in another place, 
D                                 Esus4           E 
running undercover of a helicopter blade. 
A                                         F#m7 
The flames are getting higher, ineffigy 
A                                            F#m7 
burning down the bridges of my memory 
A                              F#m7 
love may still be alive somewhere, someway, 
                    D 
where they're downing only dear 
D                     Esus4   E 
a hundred steel-towns away - Oh, the 
     A                               D 
     Rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum, 
                  A                                           Esus4   E 
     with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue. 
           A                            D 
     No, never will I roam for I know my place is home, 
                     A                                    Esus4   E   A 
     where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sail -----     ing. 
A                 F#m7 
Photographs kerosene 
A                                            F#m7 
light up up my darkness, light it up, light it up 
        A                                   F#m7 
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans 
D                                               Esus4 
running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you babe, oh baby. - Oh, the 
     A                               D 
     Rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum, 
                  A                                           Esus4   E 
     with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue. 
           A                            D 
     No, never will I roam for I know my place is home, 
                    A                                      Esus4   E   A    
     where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sail -----      ing. 
G/A   A       G/A     A     G/A 
I'll be sailing    out there 
D    A/C#    Bm7               A 
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins, 
F#m7 
tripping like a handle of a slotmachine. 
D                         A/C#  Bm7         A 
Love may still exist         in another place, 
A              Bm7                                  Emsus4           E 
I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face. 
              A
