[C#6]Across the street the [F#]river runs
[C#6]Down in the gutter life is[G#] slipping away
[C#6]Let me still exist [F#]in another place,
[C#6]Running down under cover Of a [G#]helicopter [C#6]blade
[C#6]The flames are getting higher, [F#]in effigy
[C#6]Burning down the bridges of [G#]my memory
[C#6]Love may still alive [F#]somewhere someday
[C#6]where they're downing only deer, a hundred [G#]steel towns [C#6]away
[C#6]Oh, rhythm of my heart [F#]is beating like a drum
[C#6]with the words "I Love you" rolli[G#]ng off my tongue
[C#6]No never will I roam, [F#]for I know my place is home
[C#6]Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be [G#]sail[C#6]ing
[C#6]Photographs and [F#]kerosene
[C#6]light up my darkness,[G#]light it up, light it up
[C#6]I can still feel the touch [F#]of your thin blue jeans
[C#6]Running down the alley, I've got my eyes [G#]all over you, [C#6]baby, Oh, baby
[C#6]Oh, rhythm of my heart [F#]is beating like a drum
[C#6]with the words "I Love you" rolli[G#]ng off my tongue
[C#6]No never will I roam, [F#]for I know my place is home
[C#6]Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be [G#]sail[C#6]ing (I'll be [G#]sail[C#6]ing)
...Oh, yeah...
[C#6]Oh, I've got lightning in [F#]my veins,
[C#6]shifting like the handle of [G#]a slot machine
[C#6]Love may still exist, [F#]in another place.
[C#6]I'm just yanking back the handle, [G#]no expression on [C#6]my face.
== Chorus 3x ==
[C#6]Oh, rhythm of my heart [F#]is beating like a drum
[C#6]with the words "I Love you" rolli[G#]ng off my tongue
[C#6]No never will I roam, [F#]for I know my place is home
[C#6]Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be [G#]sail[C#6]ing
ENJOY...
