C#6                   F# 
Across the street the river runs  
C#6                       G# 
Down in the gutter life is slipping away  
C#6                F#  
Let me still exist in another place,  
C#6                           G#         C#6 
Running down under cover Of a helicopter blade  

C#6                            F# 
The flames are getting higher, in effigy  
C#6                         G# 
Burning down the bridges of my memory  
C#6                  F# 
Love may still alive somewhere someday  
C#6                                        G#          C#6 
where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away  

C#6                    F# 
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum  
C#6                                        G# 
with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue  
C#6                   F# 
No never will I roam, for I know my place is home  
C#6                                    G#  C#6 
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing  

C#6             F# 
Photographs and kerosene 
C#6                  G# 
light up my darkness,light it up, light it up  
C#6                        F#      
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans  
C#6                                      G#            C#6 
Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby, Oh, baby  

C#6                    F# 
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum  
C#6                                        G# 
with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue  
C#6                   F# 
No never will I roam, for I know my place is home  
C#6                                    G#  C#6           G#  C#6  
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing  (I'll be sailing)  

...Oh, yeah...  

C#6                       F# 
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins, 
C#6                         G#   
shifting like the handle of a slot machine  
C#6                   F# 
Love may still exist, in another place.  
C#6                               G#               C#6 
I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face.

with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue

No never will I roam, for I know my place is home  
C#6                                    G#  C#6 
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
