A  A7  D

[Verse 1]
A
The first time I saw you
A7                                     D
You were waiting tables at the corner diner
A
I said to myself
A7                           D
Never seen a woman look any finer

G
From that moment on

I was stone cold gone
                            D
You would be forever in my mind


[Chorus]
     A
Now somewhere in the neon lights
     A7
I'm holding on for dear life
   A                         A7      D
Rocking in the arms of your memory tonight


[Verse 2]
A
It was San Francisco
A7                                 D
Silly suits and white ties by the bay
A
You appeared with your papa
A7                                    D
Tears were rolling down your mother's face

G
Everyone was happy
                                      D
Showered by well wishers as we drove away


[Chorus]
     A
Now somewhere in the neon lights
     A7
I'm holding on for dear life
   A                         A7      D
Rocking in the arms of your memory tonight


[Bridge]
     Em7        Bm7
I'm living but dying
     Em7         Bm7
I'm laughing but crying
    D                         A7
Somebody tell me it will be alright


[Verse 3]
A
I bought it for your birthday
A7                                D
God you looked so lovely in that dress
A
I took you to a party
A7                           D
Or was it to a nightclub I forget

G
Been twenty years and counting
                                              D
I'm drowning in your love a little more each day


[Chorus]
     A
Now somewhere in the neon lights
     A7
I'm holding on for dear life
   A                         A7      D
Rocking in the arms of your memory tonight
