Friday night and I'm go-in' nowhere

Turnin' over  T V  stations
-6  6 6   5    5  -4     -4    4   4
Sit-u-a-tions runnin' through my head

Lookin' back through time, you know it's clear
  7   7    -6  6   6      6    -6  7  -6  6   
That I've been~~ blind - I've been a fool~~~~
 5 -6  6  6  5   5   -4  -4  4    -6 6 6  
To op-en up my heart to all that jealousy
 5    5  -4  -4   -4 5   -4 4  4  
That bitterness, that~~ rid-i-cule

Movin' through the clouds - I'm pushin'

Chemicals are rushin' in - my~~ blood stream
-7  7  -8    7   7   -6   6
On-ly wish that you were here
 6   -6   7  -8  7  7  -6 6   6

To show you how I really feel

Admit to some of these - bad mistakes I've~~~ made

Next verse (same tune)

Sunday all the lights of London
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me

Followed by chorus to fade
And if you want it etc.......


Listen to the song
