Intro: A  A7  D 

verse 1 
A 
The first time I saw you 
A7                                     D 
You were waiting tables at the corner diner 
A 
I said to myself 
A7                           D 
Never seen a woman look any finer 

G 
From that moment on 

I was stone cold gone 
                            D 
You would be forever in my mind 

     A 
Now somewhere in the neon lights 
     A7 
I'm holding on for dear life 
   A                         A7      D 
Rocking in the arms of your memory tonight 


verse 2 
A 
It was San Francisco 
A7                                 D 
Silly suits and white ties by the bay 
A 
You appeared with your papa 
A7                                    D 
Tears were rolling down your mother's face 

G 
Everyone was happy 
                                      D 
Showered by well wishers as we drove away 
 
     A 
Now somewhere in the neon lights 
     A7 
I'm holding on for dear life 
   A                         A7      D 
Rocking in the arms of your memory tonight 

Bridge 
     Em7        Bm7 
I'm living but dying 
     Em7         Bm7 
I'm laughing but crying 
    D                         A7 
Somebody tell me it will be alright 

verse 3 
A 
I bought it for your birthday 
A7                                D 
God you looked so lovely in that dress 
A 
I took you to a party 
A7                           D 
Or was it to a nightclub I forget 

G 
Been twenty years and counting 
                                              D 
I'm drowning in your love a little more each day 

     A 
Now somewhere in the neon lights 
     A7 
I'm holding on for dear life 
   A                         A7      D 
Rocking in the arms of your memory tonight
