[VERSE 1]
E            Aadd9                       Badd4
She sees the world through rose-coloured glasses
E        Aadd9             Badd4
Painted skies and graceful romances
Aadd9                 Badd4
I see a world that's tired and scared
   G#m                     Aadd9
Of living on the edge too long
Aadd9               Badd4
Where does she get off telling me
     G#m                 Aadd9
That love could save us all, 
        Badd4
Save us all.
 
[VERSE 2]
E            Aadd9                Badd4
She takes my hand and leads me to nowhere town.
E               Aadd9               Badd4
No matter where I stand it's always neutral ground,
Aadd9                  Badd4
And in the cool of the evening blue
           G#m      Aadd9
I feel so tired and alone
Aadd9                   Badd4
Where does she get off telling me
     G#m               Aadd9
That love could save us all, 
        Badd4
Save us all.
 
[CHORUS]
Badd4        E     Aadd9
And it's day after day
       F#7add11               Badd4
I keep hanging around can you tell me why
E           Aadd9          F#7add11
Night after night, yeah I know I should leave
                Badd4           Aadd9
But there's something in those eyes
              Badd4                 Aadd9
That keeps me hanging on, I'm hypnotized
   Badd4
It breaks my heart and I don't know why
 
 
[SOLO]
E Aadd9 F#7add11 Badd4 [X3]
 
[BRIDGE]
Badd4   Aadd9
Tell me why, 
Badd4   Aadd9
Tell me why
 
 
[VERSE 1 REPEATED]
E            Aadd9                       Badd4
She sees the world through rose-coloured glasses
E        Aadd9             Badd4
Painted skies and graceful romances
Aadd9                 Badd4
I see a world that's tired and scared
   G#m                     Aadd9
Of living on the edge too long
Aadd9               Badd4
Where does she get off telling me
     G#m                 Aadd9
That love could save us all, 
 
 
[CHORUS]
Badd4        E     Aadd9

Night after night, yeah I know I should leave
            Badd4
But there's something, yeah, yeah...
E         Aadd9      F#7add11         Badd4
Day after day   after day   after day
Badd4
And I don't know
E         Aadd9      F#7add11         Badd4
Day after day   after day   after day
                 E
And I don't know why.
