CF
Across the street the river runs
CF
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
CF
Let me still exist in another place
CF
Running under cover of a helicopter blade
CF
The flames are getting higher in effigy
CF
Burning down the bridges of my memory
CF
Love may still be alive somewhere someway
C
where they're downing only deer
F
a hundred steel towns away
CF
Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
CF
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
CF
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
C
where the ocean meets the sky
G
I'll be sailing
Interlude: CCFC
Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness
FF
light it up, light it up
CF
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
CF
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you babe
Oh babe
CF
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
CG
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
CF
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
CG
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
CF
Oh I've got lightning in my veins
CG
shifting like the handle of a slot machine
CF
Love may still exist in another place
C
I'm just yanking back the handle
F
no expression on my face
CF
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
CG
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
CF
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
CG
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
CF
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
CG
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
CF
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
CG
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
(Now, let each of the chords ring until shift to the next [strum each once down
until end of Chorus)
CF
Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
CG
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
CF
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
CG
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
