                            E                      C#m
She said "You can't stay a saint that long in the city"

                    E                  C#m
you laugh at the thought on the the elevator down

C#m
You're just a phone call away

                  E                   C#m
You're placing a big blind bet on the underdog

                  E                                     
and though its a stretch, you believe

                        C#m
when you're against the odds, and on your feet

                   A                B          
with you at your best, and promises kept,

                   C#m                          E          
she'd rather stay here with you on the laziest afternoons with you.
[Chorus]
E B                A             C#m         
  Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone

E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
[Verse 2]
                E                           C#m
You woke to the screech of the wheels on a runway

             E
An ocean of praise on a stage,

                  C#m
the songs of your love fall to your knees.

                   A                          B          
with you at your best, this is all you've got left,

                   C#m                          E          
she'd rather stay here with you on the laziest afternoons with you.
[Chorus]
E B                A             C#m         
  Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone

E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.

E      B                   A        C#m                   E
  When hearts hang on the line, and all that you fear has happened

E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
[Bridge]
         G#m                               A
Was it something that she said, something that she did

              B
to make you leave her here alone?

         G#m                               A
Was it something that you said, something that you did

              B
to make her leave you here?

         B
Don't leave me here alone.
[Chorus]
E B                A             C#m         
  Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone

E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.

E      B                   A        C#m                   E
  When hearts hang on the line, and all that you fear has happened

E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
