 I once new a girl I can't remember her name
 But I remember her face cos her sister looked the same.

 They both left school, but they couldn't find a job
 So they said farewell and stole a small town car.

 C            A#m           G
 As they were riding by the beach some summer night
     C     A#m           G                                            F  
 the radio shouted out one of those songs that might just change your life

 It went like this:

  D        G           A
 "Checkin' in checkin' out
  D      G            A               D            Bm
  Making love I like watching all your fireworks
            G                  A             E
  I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
            G       C        D
  Just like fireworks in the sky"

 Yes it did.


 Throwing some poems to the ports and docks
                                     D         C      G
 They were sleeping outdoors puching all their luck

 They sent me a letter full of pills and thrills
                                      D       C
 Then they both got rich and moved to Hollywood Hills.

 C             A#m           G
 Yea they made lots of money playing folk guitar
 C        A#m                 G                                 F
 Cos everywhere the boys went crazy just to hear these words of art:

 [CHORUS] as before,
 & harmonica solo: just play D A D A throughout
  
  E        A           B
 "Checkin' in checkin' out   (take it to the sky)
  E      A            B               E            C#m
  Making love I like watching all your fireworks
            A                  B             F#
  I like it when I light those stars in your eyes
            A       D        E
  Just like fireworks in the sky"

 They're coming to get you
 They're coming to get you now   (right now)
 Coming to get you now

 B                 A         G
 Baby, sometimes I feel like dying

 G                 A          B
 Driving while I'm closing my eyes

 B             A      G
 Moving in and out of hiding

 G                    A           B
 Trying to catch some truth in my life

 E             D              C
 watching your stars and your moonlight

 E             D             C
 come tumbling down from the sky...


 Take it now.


 Chorus:

 G         C
 I'm gonna run to you

 E         D
 I'm gonna come to you

 G       C
 I wanna find you

 G       D        
 In everything that I do

 G         C
 I'm gonna run to you

 I'm gonna count on you

 G         C
 I'm gonna follow

 G         D          B
 Baby what else can I do?


 Second verse (same chords as first):

 Sunday morning my town is sleeping,
 lying all alone in my bed.
 There's not a sound, I can't help but listening,
 wishing I was somewhere else instead
 but sometimes they're to hard to handle,
 those voices inside my head...
 Listen now.


 A                     G                  D
 Take a walk inside my dream: a church, a lonely road.

 A                       D               A
 All the people come and go and come and go.

 { A  D  F  E  }

 B  C# D  E


 Do it now!

 A         D
 I'm gonna run to you

 F         E
 I'm gonna come to you

 A       D
 I wanna find you

 A       E        
 In everything that I do

 A         D
 I'm gonna run to you

 F         E
 I'm gonna count on you

 A         D
 I'm gonna follow

 A         E          C#
 Baby what else can I do?

    I think I was her only friend

    Standing tall, flag in hand

    She looked around humming a tune
     G             D    C        G
    The strangest song known to man.

 There's a shadow on the terrace,
 a snow dance for the living.
 There's heavy weather on the way,
 I heard it on the news.

 And life's a tough principal who won't reward the losers.
 Your name is on the tea-cup,
 there's nothing I can do.

                         F                   D            C
 But to wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep
                    A#                             F
 and I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep.

 There are tears without the colour,
 a million seas without water
 an ocean full of people
 where shattered hearts can go.

 And love's a golden ripple where answers are so simplee
 but the explanations are very hard to do.

                         F                   D            C
 And I wish you'd think about me before you go to sleep
                    A#                             F
 and I wish you the best there is before you go to sleep.

 (repeat intro riff until song ends)

 Go to sleep.
