[Verse 1]
Asus2
I'm lost again and I'm on the run
                         Em
Looking for love in a sad song
Asus2
With your avenger eyes and your catlike ways I can hold you
                   Em
You are a fool for me to be cruel
Asus2
I'm leaning on this bar listening to you sing
                                       Em
And your sad song rings in my ears and I start to cry
 
[Chorus]
G               Asus2
He's searching, She's showing
G                                      Asus2
See him held in a deep, deep spell. He knows she's glowing
G                           Asus2
I can find within my mind a way to go
G
I can look deep into your light and shout
Asus2
Hold me,Hold me,Hold me,Hold me,Hold me
 
(flugelhorn solo)

[Verse 2]
Asus2
I hear the saxophone and it tears my soul
                               Em
And we're feeling old, feeling so cold
Asus2
She is the torch and she is the theme
                                       Em
She could be a dream but - oh boy - is she real
Asus2
Try to avoid her eyes, to avoid her words
                       Em
They will hit you with all that you feel
 
[Chorus]
G               Asus2
He's searching, She's showing
G                                      Asus2
See him held in a deep, deep spell, He knows she's glowing
G                           Asus2
I can find within my mind a way to go
G
I can look deep into your light and shout
Asus2
Hold me,Hold me,Hold me,Hold me,Hold me

G                     F
See her eyes they are bright tonight
G                    F
See the stars coming out tonight
G                    F
See the moon looking down tonight
G                       F
See how they light your way tonight
 
G                    F
See my eyes they are bright tonight
G                     F
See my hands reaching out tonight
G                      F
Hear my words they are dynamite
G                       F
See how they light your way tonight
 
G                     F
See her eyes they are bright tonight
G                    F
See the stars coming out tonight
G                    F
See the moon looking down tonight
G                       F
See how they light your way tonight
 
[Outro]

See how they light your way to - night

Good chart, thanks. Two minor things: 1. The name of the A chord is an Asus2. You have the tabbed fingering correct though. 2. There's an interlude after the first chorus, with the same intro/outro sequence of G, F.
