G                         C 
Ohhh... It takes cold dry eyes...
G                                     C
Ohhh... In your quiet eyes problems arose...

                  G                              C 
It doesn't take a man, man at all, to shine this light
                G                                  C
All it takes, a green light to show that the day's alright, 
                 G                   C        
Down... down the road, Cause now you know, now you know
           G                                             C
It takes a woman you breeze when you follow the road, my dream
            G
                                             C

And on this quiet night, only starry skies, it carries us home
                        G                                          C
It will take you to the winds, to find the man, the life I've once known
                   G                                     C
My feet are on the ground, head is in the sound, baby we need, we're flying free, 
          G                C 
I knew we would, I knew we would, I knew we would.

It takes the freedom you go, when you follow the road, we're hangin on
             G                                          C
And on these quiet days, only sunny rays, it carries me home, way beyond
               G                                  C
Take me to the winds to find the man, life I once known
                   G                                            C 
My feet are on the ground, my head is in the sound, and baby we need, we're flying free
          G                                 C
I knew we could, I knew we would, I knew we could, I knew we would.

Oh... it takes a couple lifetimes
G                                     C
Oh... in your quiet eyes the problems return to my old home.
                  G                              C 
It doesn't take a man, man at all, to shine this light
                  G                            C                       
All it takes is a green light to show the days alright, days alright
             G             C
Honey now we know.
