Intro: Em A Em A D
(v.1)
Em7 A
The first time I saw you
Em7 A A7 D
You were waitin' tables at the corner diner
Em7 A
I said to myself
Em7 A 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
Em7 A
Now somewhere in the neon lights
Em7 A
I'm holding on for dear life
Em7 A D
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight
(v.2)
It was San Francisco
Silly suits and white ties by the bay
You appeared with your papa
Tears were rolling down your mother's face
Everyone was happy
Showered by well wisherâs as we drove away
Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holding on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight
(Bridge)
Bm F#
I'm living but dying
Bm F#
I'm laughing but crying
Bm E E7 A
Somebody tell me it will be alright
(v.3)
I bought it for your birthday
God you looked so lovely in that dress
I took you to a party
Or was it to a nightclub I forget
Been twenty years and counting
I'm drowning in your love a little more each day
Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holding on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight
Now somewhere in the neon lights
I'm holding on for dear life
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight
