Intro:
Dmaj9/F# G6 Dmaj9/F# G6
Verse 1:
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.
Chorus 1:
D A Em F#m11 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 Let go of your heart, let go of your head, and feel it now Dmaj9/F# G6 Babylon Dmaj9/F# G6 Babylon Dmaj9/F# G6 Dmaj9/F# G6 Babylon
Verse 3:
Dmaj9/F# G6 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 And wonderin' where it is you might be going to. Dmaj9/F# Turnin' back for home, you know, 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 To see you smiling there in frontof me.
Chorus 2:
