   E     F#           B          E             F#                   B 
Somewhere to-night he's a live wire He's got his sights on someone new 
    E     F#          B   G#m        E                          F# 
Somewhere to-night  he's a high flyer and I'm so lonesome I don't know 
       B 
what to do. 
 
    E                               F#                B 
1.  I bet he's out there shinin' like a diamond don't you know 
     E                     F#                           B 
    Turnin' heads and breakin' hearts and puttin' on a show 
       E           F#                   B                       E 
    Rollin' like a summer storm driftin' with the wind (music pause) 
                F#                    B 
    And I just wish he'd blow my way again. 
    E                                  F#                  B 
2.  I must have read that goodbye letter, at least a thousand times 
     E                          F#                   B 
    He said I was the only one who almost changed his mind 
 E      F#                           B                        E 
But better homes and gardens parties they weren't his cup of tea (music pause) 
                  F#                       B 
    Somewhere tonight he's running wild and free.
