***VERSE 1*** C High rise, veins of the avenue C Am Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue. Am F Everywhere balanced there like a rainbow above you. C Street lights glisten on the boulevard. C Am And cold nights make staying alert so hard. Am F For heaven’s sake, keep me awake so I won’t be caught off guard. F Dm Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay. Dm C Dear pacific day, won’t you take me away? ***VERSE 2*** C Small town hearts of the New Year C Am Brought down by gravity crystal clear. Am C City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier.
