C#m                 B           B 
She was born with a song in the air 
       Ebm        E 
In the summer of 85 
     C#m                     G#m             Eb 
The clouds just went and the day became so bright 

   C#m          G#m 
A child of love angel like 
Ebm                      E 
With the most beautiful smile 
C#m             C#m                 Eb    Eb 
Growing up to be the sunshine of my life 

     G#m 
Come talk to me 
      Ebm 
Don’t run away 
 E                      B 
Don’t let the distance grow 
    G#m 
The door’s wide open 
      Ebm 
Don’t ever think 
        C#m          C#m 
There is no way home 

F#m F#m       C#m    C#m 
Sly come home tonight 
     D                       E 
The world is so bad you’re drive ‘em all mad 
        F#m 
With your smile 
 D     F#m       E 
Sly my joy and pride 
         D              A 
When the runaway train took you away 
  C#              C# 
A part of me died 

(bridge) C#m A B B (4x)   B 

     C#m                    B         B 
The years went by like the summer of love 
    Ebm                 E 
So much changed in our lives 
        C#m          G#m             Eb 
They’re too may scars deep under my skin 

      C#m               G#m 
Love turned to hate and hate to love 
Ebm                    E 
Let’s start all over again 
C#m            C#m               Eb    Eb 
And now I wonder what life will bring 

     G#m 
Just let us laugh 
      Ebm 
The tears away 
 E                      B 
No more hard feelings no 
    G#m 
Cause after all 
      Ebm 
You’re my flesh and blood 
        C#m          C#m 
I don’t want you to fall 

F#m             C#m 
Sly come home tonight 
     D                       E 
The world is so bad you’re drive ‘em all mad 
        F#m 
With your smile 
 D       F#m    E 
Sly come home alive 
         D              A 
When the runaway train took you away 
  E 
A part of me died
