***VERSE 1*** C High rise, veins of the avenue C Am Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue. Am F Everywhere balanced there like a rainbow above you. C Street lights glisten on the boulevard. C Am And cold nights make staying alert so hard. Am F For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard. F Dm Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay. Dm C Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away? ***VERSE 2*** C Small town hearts of the New Year C Am Brought down by gravity crystal clear. Am C City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier. C Make hast, I feel your heartbeat C Am With new taste for speed, out on the street. Am F Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet. F Dm The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow. Dm C The feeling of letting go, I guess we’ll never know. C Cheer up and dry your damp eyes Am And tell me then it rains F And I’ll blend up that rainbow above you G And shoot it through your veins. *****CHORUS***** C Cause your heart has a lack of color. Am And we should’ve known F That we’d grow up sooner or later G C Cause we wasted all our free time alone. ***BREAK*** C Am C Am ***VERSE 3*** C Your nerves gather with the altitude C Am Exhale the stress so you don’t come unglued. Am Somewhere there is a happy affair, a ghost of a good mood. C Wide eyed, panic on the getaway C Am The high tide could take me so far away. Am F VCRs and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day F Dm A popular gauge will measure the range of the new Post-Modern Age. Dm C Cause somewhere along the line all the decades align. ***BRIDGE*** C We were the crashing whitecaps. Am On the ocean (on the ocean). Dm C Bb What a lovely seaside holiday, away. F Am A palm tree in Christmas lights. Am My emotion. F Dm Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone. Dm C As we spent the day alone. ***BREAK*** C Am Dm F **Repeat Chorus** C Am C Am F F C
