From 1981 album Jealousy 81' [Intro] G C G C Em Am7 D D [Verse 1]

G
All alone in a sleepless night

        G
Passing time with a runaway moon

 Am
Talkin' to myself

Wishing I was somewhere else

          G
It's been too long since I held you girl

G
Twice a thousand miles

       C           Bm     Am
But my heart won't beat alone

           C      Bm7      Bb
I need the love I left behind

[Bridge]

Hold back the dawn awhile

This will all work out

Don't let this dream die

There's a fire in the sky

It's like the light in your eyes

Thinkin' of you

G
Now the night is dark with diamonds

And I'm standing inside the rain

Am
Giving up your love

        G
Was the worst mistake I made

          G
There's a sound I hear in the distance

Seems it's calling out my name

          C        B   Am
Well I'll pay most any price

       C        B       Bb
I just hope I'm not too late

[Bridge]

Turn back the clock awhile

That I won't give up till you're in my arms
