      G
In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
           F
Lives the heart of me
                        G
A part that just won't die
        G
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
                F
They said we'd fight for their freedom
                         G
But I felt like a hired hand

F
Sometimes I have to find my way
C
Sometimes I have to get away

Chorus:
         G
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it last
It was a time to remember
All my life I would never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care

Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away

Chorus - x2

G
This guy turns me around and
He's pointing up the stairs
I found myself in her doorway
But there wasn't anybody there
She walked in the room with nothing on
But a red light
And with a smile she got so close to me
She whispered something 'bout midnight
You know I didn't understand a word she said
But it felt so good
She knew that I didn't have any money
But baby I knew she would.

Chorus - x2
