      B                     E
All alone at the end of the evening
          B                           E
And the bright lights have faded to blue.
        B               D#7                  G#m
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have loved me,
             F#
but I never knew.

B             F#               B                      E
You know I've always been a dreamer
                E
(Spend my life runnin' round)
                      B
And it's so hard to change
                E
(Can't seem to settle down)
                          C#m  E
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turnin' out
     F#
And burnin' out and turnin' out the sa - me.

Chorus:
    E           B            E        B
So put me on a highway and show me a sign
     E              F#             B
And take it to the limit one more time.

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?

And when you're looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming back for more

Chorus

 E             F#
Take it to the limit,
 E              F#
Take it to the limit,
 E             F#              B
Take it to the limit one more time.

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Come on and take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
You gotta take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Come on and take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Come on and take it to the limit
You got to take it to the limit one more time
