Barrowland Ballroom

[Intro] G

[Verse]
       G
Oh the lights outside they're as bright as the sun
             C
They're much brighter than anyone
       G
Oh the girls in the queue yes they're waiting for you
             C
Well they're waiting for their song to be sung

[Pre-Chorus]
             Am                             C
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
             G                      D
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
             Am                           C
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
            G               D
I wish that I was on the stage

[Chorus]
   Am
Oh won't you take a ride with me
            D
Through the Barrowland history
      G                     C
And I'll sing you a song or two
Am                                 D
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
G                C
It's only me and you
        Am
And the drink and dance and drugs you know
     D
It's all part of the show we go to
G                   C
Maybe I should tell you
     Am                                 D
That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
    C             D        G
Tonight, it's only me and you

[Verse] same as 1st
Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceiling
When the band start to play
Won't you buy me a drink and I'll tell her what I think if she gets in my way

[Pre-Chorus]
             Am                             C
And when the night turns to day and all the people go away
             G                      D
It's not the same, tell me who's to blame?
             Am                           C
And when the stars shine so bright on the cold December night
            G               D
I wish that I was on the stage

[Chorus]
   Am
Oh won't you take a ride with me
            D
Through the Barrowland history
      G                     C
And I'll sing you a song or two
Am                                 D
People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
G                C
It's only me and you
        Am
And the drink and dance and drugs you know
     D
It's all part of the show we go to
G                   C
Maybe I should tell you
     Am                                 D
That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care
    C             D        G
Tonight, it's only me and you

G until bridge

[Bridge]
             Am                         D
And when the night turns to day and the lights they fade away
            G                   C
I wish that love and life would pass me by
             Am                                D
And when the band stops a song because there's something going on
              G                  C
Well there is magic in the air I swear
      Am                     D
And I wish that I saw Bowie, playing on that stage
   C                            D
I wish that I saw something, to make me come of age
