(Intro: Bm F#m A E )


Verse I:
F#m                A
    Faster than a plane
            E
Flies over your head
            Bm               F#m                  D
Faster than the autumn leaves turn snow under your sled
            A              E
I'm suddenly alive, as California skies
            Bm                    F#m         D
Melt away the thoughts that have been frozen in my mind



Chorus:
      F#m             A
Are you running from the pain?
      E
I Am ,
           E7                  D
I hope that love will save the day 
       F#m               A
How much longer will you wait?
           E                       D
I don't know,        as long as it takes
          F#m                 A
And what if everything?s the same?
             E
I don?t know
          E7                   D
I hope that love will save the day


( D    F#m    E    C# )


Verse II:
F#m                A
    Faster than her words 
              E
Get tangled up in lies
            Bm               F#m              D
Faster than the wind can blow her hair over her eyes
            A             E
I'm suddenly alive as California skies
            Bm                    F#m         D
Melt away the thoughts that have been frozen in my mind



Chorus II:
        F#m              A
Are you running from the pain?
      E
I may, 
            E7                 D
I hope that love will save the day
         F#m             A
How much longer will you wait?
             E       E7         D
I don't know,     as long as it takes
            F#m              A
And what if everything?s the same?
        E               E7                 D
Oh well,    
I hope that love will save the day


Instrumental: 
( D      F#m      E      C#      D )
( F#m   A   E   D   F#m   A   E   C# )


D            F#m               A
   And what if everything?s the same?
      E                E7
I don?t care, I hope that love will 
         D
save the day

( D      F#m      E      C# )

Verse I:
F#m               A
    Faster than a plane
             E
Flies on overhead
                Bm                 F#m             D
Faster than the autumn leaves turn snow under your sled
               A
I'm suddenly alive,
              E 
As California skies
              Bm                      F#m          D
Melt away the thoughts that have Been frozen in my mind

(Repeats and fades out:)
( D       F#m       A        E )

I think that love will save the day
Love will save the day
