Barlights

INTRO: D

D                   E
Never in all of my life
             A                     
Have I seen eyes as empty as these 
  D
streets of my city
      D
on a Saturday night,
        E                        A
all the green of your eyes says 
            Abm     D
"Go, leave it all behind."


            D                    
But I don't need to be reminded a 
  E
change is gonna come.
      D                         
I can feel it on the tip of your 
  E
tongue.


    A                         D   
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel
      A
 alive.


   D                             E
We met up once we'd settled the sun
    A        Abm
Between the heat and the work week
    D
The fear is we could use some sleep
    D                      E
but sleep to a superfluous man means
 better use for beds
         A       Abm           D
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone 
tonight.


         D                       E
I don't need to be reminded this is 
how it was.
        D                       
I moved on, I passed a billboard 
  E
down my block

             D                   
that asks if I've had enough, and 
         E
aloud I say "I've had too much"
         D                         
when the truth is, I'm just getting
   E
 started.


     A
Now all the barlights are blinking 
in time
D                               D*
to Mexican music, it's taunting 
 E* F#* E* D*
the pavement
    A                         D
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel 
alive.


D                     E
One of us sings, and one of us 
drinks,
     A
and one of us has nothing at all.
      D
So he calls us all sheep
         E                     A
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.

(I take their tales and I'm ready to
 go)
        D                          
Then he swears he's gotta take this
  E
 call
           A                Abm   
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave 
       D
us too soon.


            D
We were the get rich quick kids,
    E
We never got it right
       D                         E
So we settled for the center in town
               D                   
Where all the rich white kids is 
   E
out looking for a fight
         D                    E
got the blond one staring me down.
       D                   E
and I really wanna take a swing
         A          Abm          D
I can't help but remember James Dean
            D                    E
See we are part of the few who agree
              D
that hey, he lived life fast
        E
but he died.

he died.

he died.


                      A
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
     A                         D  
(And I feel alive, feel alive, 
     A
feel alive)



     A
Now all the barlights are blinking 
in time
D                                 
to Mexican music, it's taunting 
           A
the pavement

and for the first time,
                D
in a long time,
              A
I feel alive.
