Dm
A sky blue limo rolls past me on the
    C         G
street outside
Dm                                     C        G
And I saw your face like some sort of neon dream
Dm
And of all the cars and the bars and the
  C              G
stars on Sunset Boulevard
      Dm                                      C
I saw you and you couldn't tell me what that means
             G
Or what I'd seen

               Dm
Oh but when it hit me
F               C
It was not the same thing
G               Dm        F            C
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
G              Dm
Finally I was seeing
F               C
Everything so clearly
G                    Dm
Took what I'd been thinking
     F          C G
And washed it away

Chorus:
                 Dm   F C G
I didn't see it coming
                 Dm   F C G
I didn't see it coming
                 Dm
I didn't see it coming,
         F               C               G
coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming
                 Dm   F C G
I didn't see it coming

Well the streetlights flickered
And the hot air sighed
The conversation it stopped on a dime
A cruise missile flying into this little
Land of these naive dreams of mine
And I was told don't speak with your mouth open
But I couldn't help it cause you had chosen
As I watched that sky blue limo drive away

Oh but when it hit me
It was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing
Everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking
And washed it away

Chorus

          Dm
A little skin
          F
A little money
          C
A little taste
          G
A little honey
               Dm
A little white lie
            F
But if you love it
          C           G
Tell me who am I to judge? - x3

Chorus
