1981

[Intro] Am  F  Bb Gm

Am                  F
Our sunset secret’s everywhere
Bb
In her eyes
          Gm
And every strand of her hair

Am
Seductive as sin
    F              Bb
But we can’t begin again
 Gm
No no

Am                        F
She hides her fears in her lover’s 
head
Bb                     Gm
Lives out her fears in her lover’s 
bed
Am              F
All the while, in her own style
     Bb               Gm
She’s in love with a shadow

Am                F
She just wants to feel god’s breath
Bb
Moving through her years
Gm
Moving her to tears

Am               F
Sometimes being used
Bb                         Gm
Is better than being nothing at all

[Estribillo]

F   C   Bb
          Like it was 1981
Gm   Bb   Dm
            And i was driving you 
home
F7M   C   Bb
              We could be in love
Gm   Bb   Dm
            At least we could 
pretend

Am              F
      Yeah i’m awake  but just 
barely
Bb
You’re laying next to me
Gm                           Am
And you look me squarely in the eyes
F
But to my surprise
Bb
You see nothing
     Gm
What’s there to see?

Am                       F
A walking shade, mostly a ghost
                   Bb
If there ever were a time
                   Gm
When i needed you the most
            Am
This would be it

F
Sometimes being used
   Bb                           Gm
Is better than being nothing at all

Am              F             Bb
I will wait for you to find yourself
              Gm
And then i’ll wait some more
F  C  Bb  Gm   Bb Dm
Like it was 1981
F Bb   Gm  Bb   Dm
And i was driving you home
F C  Bb7M  Bb  Gm    Bb Dm
Yeah we could be in love
F  C  Bb  Gm  Bb  Dm
