(Intro: B5 F#5 A5 E5 )


Verse I:
F#5                A5
    Faster than a plane
            E5
Flies over your head
            B5               F#5                  D5
Faster than the autumn leaves turn snow under your sled
            A5              E5
I'm suddenly alive, as California skies
            B5                    F#5         D5
Melt away the thoughts that have been frozen in my mind



Chorus:
      F#5             A5
Are you running from the pain?
      E5
I A5 ,
           E5                  D5
I hope that love will save the day 
       F#5               A5
How much longer will you wait?
           E5                       D5
I don't know,        as long as it takes
          F#5                 A5
And what if everything?s the same?
             E5
I don?t know
          E5                   D5
I hope that love will save the day


( D5    F#5    E5    C#5 )


Verse II:
F#5                A5
    Faster than her words 
              E5
Get tangled up in lies
            B5               F#5              D5
Faster than the wind can blow her hair over her eyes
            A5             E5
I'm suddenly alive as California skies
            B5                    F#5         D5
Melt away the thoughts that have been frozen in my mind



Chorus II:
        F#5              A5
Are you running from the pain?
      E5
I may, 
            E5                 D5
I hope that love will save the day
         F#5             A5
How much longer will you wait?
             E5       E5         D5
I don't know,     as long as it takes
            F#5              A5
And what if everything?s the same?
        E5               E5                 D5
Oh well,    
I hope that love will save the day

( F#5   A5   E5   D5   F#5   A5   E5   C#5 )


D5            F#5               A5
   And what if everything?s the same?
      E5                E5
I don?t care, I hope that love will 
         D5
save the day

( D5      F#5      E5      C#5 )

Verse I:
F#5               A5
    Faster than a plane
             E5
Flies on overhead
                B5                 F#5             D5
Faster than the autumn leaves turn snow under your sled
               A5
I'm suddenly alive,
              E5 
As California skies
              B5                      F#5          D5
Melt away the thoughts that have Been frozen in my mind

(Repeats and fades out:)
( D5       F#5       A5        E5 )

I think that love will save the day
