C#5                   F#5
Across the street the river runs 
C#5                       G#5
Down in the gutter life is slipping away 
C#5                F#5 
Let me still exist in another place, 
C#5                           G#5         C#5
Running down under cover Of a helicopter blade 


C#5                            F#5
The flames are getting higher, in effigy 
C#5                         G#5
Burning down the bridges of my memory 
C#5                  F#5
Love may still alive somewhere someday 
C#5                                        G#5          C#5
where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away 


C#5                    F#5
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum 
C#5                                        G#5
with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue 
C#5                   F#5
No never will I roam , for I know my place is home 
C#5                                    G#5  C#5
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing 


C#5             F#5
Photographs and kerosene
C#5                  G#5
light up my darkness,light it up, light it up 
C#5                        F#5     
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans 
C#5                                      G#5            C#5
Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby, Oh, baby 


C#5                    F#5
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum 
C#5                                        G#5
with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue 
C#5                   F#5
No never will I roam , for I know my place is home 
C#5                                    G#5  C#5           G#5  C#5 
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing  (I'll be sailing) 

...Oh, yeah... 
C#5                       F#5
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins,
C#5                         G#5  
shifting like the handle of a slot machine 
C#5                   F#5
Love may still exist, in another place. 
C#5                               G#5               C#5
I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face. 

== Chorus 3x ==
C#5                    F#5
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum 
C#5                                        G#5
with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue 
C#5                   F#5
No never will I roam , for I know my place is home 
C#5                                    G#5  C#5
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
