         Dmaj9/F#
         Friday night an' I'm going nowhere,

         G6                          Dmaj9/F#      G6
         All the lights are changing green to red.

         Dmaj9/F#
         Turning over T.V. stations,

         G6                            Dmaj9/F#   G6
         Situations running through my   head

         Dmaj9/F#
         Looking back through time, you know,

              G6                              Dmaj9/F#       G6
         It's clear that I've been blind, I've been a fool

            Dmaj9/F#                G6
         To open up my heart to all that jealousy,

                          Dmaj9/F#       G6    Em
         That bitterness, that ridicule.
Verse 2:
         Dmaj9/F#
         Saturday I'm running wild

              G6                          Dmaj9/F#      G6
         An' all the lights are changin', red to green.

         Dmaj9/F#
         Moving through the crowds, I'm pushin',

         G6                      Dmaj9/F#        G6
         Chemicals are rushing in my bloodstream.

              Dmaj9/F#
         Only wish that you were here,

                      G6                             Dmaj9/F#   G6
         You know I'm seein' it so clear; I've been afraid

            Dmaj9/F#
         To show you how I really feel,

           G6                          Dmaj9/F#         G6
         Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made.

          And if you want it, come an' get it, for crying out loud.

         D                   A               Em          G6
          The love that I was  givin' you was  never in  doubt

         D                 A                    Em              A
          Let go of your heart, let go of your head, and feel it  now

         D                 A                    Em              A

         Sunday, all the lights in London shining,

                       Dmaj9/F#      G6
         Sky is fading red to blue.

         Dmaj9/F#
          Kickin' through the autumn leaves

              G6                               Dmaj9/F#     G6

            G6                            Dmaj9/F#   G6
         I'm feeling so alone, I can't believe.

         Dmaj9/F#
         Climbin' on thestair I turn around

          G6                                              Dmaj9/F#     G6
