INTRO: [Ab/C] [Db] :
[x4]
VERSE 1:
[Ab/C] Friday night I'm going nowhere,
[Db] all the lights are changing,
[Ab/C] green to red
[Db]
[Ab/C] Turning over TV stations,
[Db] situations running through
[Ab/C] my head
[Db]
[Ab/C] Looking back through time, you know it's
[Db] clear that I've been blind, I've been a
[Ab/C] fool
[Db]
To
[Ab/C] open up my heart to all that
[Db] jealousy, that bitterness, that
[Ab/C] ridicule
[Db]
BREAK: [A#m open]
VERSE 2:
[Ab/C] Saturday I'm running wild and
[Db] all the lights are changing,
[Ab/C] red to green
[Db]
[Ab/C] Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
[Db] chemicals all rushing in my
[Ab/C] bloodstream
[Db]
Only
[Ab/C] wish that you were here, you know I'm
[Db] seeing it so clear, I've been a-
[Ab/C]-fraid
[Db]
To
[Ab/C] show you how I really feel, ad-
[Db]-mit to some of those bad mis-
[Ab/C]-takes I've made
[Db]
PRE-CHORUS:
[Ab] If you want
[Eb] it, come and get
[A#m] it, crying out
[Cm] loud
[Ab] The love that I
[Eb] was, giving you
[A#m] was, never in
[Db] doubt
CHORUS:
[Ab] Let go your
[Eb] heart, let go your
[A#m] head, and feel it
[Eb] now
[Ab] Let go your
[Eb] heart, let go your
[A#m] head, and feel it
[Eb] now
[Eb]
POST-CHORUS:
Baby-
[Ab/C]-lon
[Db], Baby-
[Ab/C]-lon
[Db], Baby-
[Ab/C]-lon
[Db],
[Ab/C] [Db]
VERSE 3:
[Ab/C] Sunday all the lights of London,
[Db] shining sky is fading,
[Ab/C] red to blue
[Db]
[Ab/C] I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves and
[Db] wondering where it is you might be
[Ab/C] going to
[Db]
[Ab/C] Turning back for home, you know I'm
[Db] feeling so alone, I can't be-
[Ab/C]-lieve
[Db]
[Ab/C] Climbing on the stair, I turn a-
[Db]-round to see you smiling there in-
[Ab/C]-front of me
[Db]
