[Intro]
Cadd9 G (x4)
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G We were drinking like the Irish Cadd9 G But we were drinking scotch Cadd9 G Bartender turns on a movie Am D Everybody turned to watch Cadd9 G And every single eye was gleaming Am And he reached the final scene Cadd9 G Well, at least mine did Cadd9 G Here's lookin' at you, kid
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G It's a mad mission Cadd9 G Under difficult conditions Cadd9 G Not everybody makes it Am D To the loving cup Cadd9 G It's a mad mission Cadd9 G But i got the ambition Cadd9 G Mad, mad mission Cadd9 G Sign me up
[Instrumental]
Cadd9 G (x4)
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G I think i've seen the look before Cadd9 G Yes it's kind of non-commital Cadd9 G It says come hither, baby, but then he's Am D Hard wood to whittle Cadd9 G It says it don't mean a thing, Am but still, somehow it does Cadd9 G He'd like you to join the club he likes to say Cadd9 G There's no such thing as love
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G (x8)
Cadd9 G Sometimes you find yourself Cadd9 G Flying low at night Cadd9 G Flying blind and looking for
Am (hold) D (hold)
Any sign of light
Cadd9 (hold)
You're cold and scared, and all alone
Am (hold)
You'd do anything just to make it home
Cadd9 G (x2)
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G (x3)
Cadd9 G Sign me up
Cadd9 G (x4)
