C#m G#m She was born with a song in the air D#m E In the summer of 85; C#m G#m D# The clouds just went and the day became so bright. C#m G#m A child of love, angel like, D#m E With the most beautiful smile, C#m D# Growing up to be the sunshine of my life. G#m Come talk to me, D#m Don’t run away, E B F#/A# Don’t let the distance grow. G#m The door’s wide open, D#m Don’t ever think, C# There's no way home. Chorus: F#m Sly C#m Come home tonight; D The world is so bad, E You drive them all mad F#m With your smile. D Sly F#m E My joy and my pride; D When the runaway train, A Took you away, G#sus4 G# A part of me died. The years went by like the summer of love So much changed in our lives They're too many scars deep under my skin Love turned to hate and hate to love Let's start all over again And now I wonder what life will bring Just let us laugh The tears away No more hard feelings no Because after all You're my flesh and blood I don't want you to fall Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A# C# C#m D D# D#m E F#m G# G#m G#sus4 B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
