C#6 - F# - C#6 - G# - C#6 - F# - C#6 - G# - C#6 - Repeat -
To sound correct with the original recording this song should
be played with the bar chords indicated... However, it can be
played poorly with a Capo on the first fret, using C6 / F / C6 / G
C#6 F#
Across the street the river runs
C#6 G#
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
C#6 F#
Let me still exist in another place,
C#6 G# C#6
Running down under cover Of a helicopter blade
C#6 F#
The flames are getting higher, in effigy
C#6 G#
Burning down the bridges of my memory
C#6 F#
Love may still alive somewhere someday
C#6 G# C#6
where they're downing only deer, a hundred steel towns away
C#6 F#
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C#6 G#
with the words 'I Love you' rolling off my tongue
C#6 F#
No never will I roam, for I know my place is home
C#6 G# C#6
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
C#6 F#
Photographs and kerosene
C#6 G#
light up my darkness,light it up, light it up
C#6 F#
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
C#6 G# C#6
Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby, Oh, baby
C#6 F#
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C#6 G#
with the words 'I Love you' rolling off my tongue
C#6 F#
No never will I roam, for I know my place is home
C#6 G# C#6 G# C#6
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing (I'll be sailing)
...Oh, yeah...
C#6 F#
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins,
C#6 G#
shifting like the handle of a slot machine
C#6 F#
Love may still exist, in another place.
C#6 G# C#6
I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face.
== Chorus 3x ==
C#6 F#
Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
C#6 G#
with the words 'I Love you' rolling off my tongue
C#6 F#
No never will I roam, for I know my place is home
C#6 G# C#6
Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing
