  Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow

       Eb
  And laughed with all of his friends

Eb Dm* Cm            F              D
  At all the little men who borrow tunes

  They heard just yesterday

  Davey got us down but we got away

  Just playing Robin Hood a little out of phase
[Chorus]
                          Bb
  And then the nightmares come

                    Eb
  And you get blown away
(when your friends go away, on last chorus) And up in your room your walls are cold You find your head is holding out
                                  Bb
  For the welcome of a better day

                          Bb
  And then the nightmares come

                      Eb
  And you get blown away
And up in your room Your walls are getting colder Like you're getting on a roller coaster
                       Bb
  You can't find the breaks

  Around our shoulders; cold and grey

  Harry carried on in his usual way

        Eb
  And Minnie went inside

Eb Dm* Cm              F
  And came out once and we both cried

  And Minnie blew my head away
[Chorus]

  Shughie found love and he almost cried

       Eb
  We laughed and wondered why

Eb Dm* Cm              F
  We loved the sky and found the space

        D               F
  And gazed out over Stevie's plane

  You can't find the breaks
