verse 1

F
the searchlights on the skyline
just looking for a friend
who’s gonna love my baby
when she’s gone around the bend
A#
egyptian bells are ringing
when it’s her birthday
F
sweet nothing i’m talking about you
there’s a hurricane blowing your way

chorus

F A#
ooh such a beautiful way
F
to break your heart
F A#
ooh such a beautiful way
F
to break your heart
D#
bah bah bah bah
A#
there’s someone calling your name
F
it’s driving you insane

verse 2

you were wearing that stained raincoat
and your umbrella was a tangled mess
you were washed up on the glittering shoals
looking for another crime to confess
A#
you bribed yourself out of a place in the sun
but you had some change to spare
F
so you said you wanna spend it on me
and shook the blues out of your hair

chorus

F A#
ooh such a beautiful way
F
to break your heart
F A#
ooh such a beautiful way
F
to break your heart
D#
bah bah bah bah
A#
there’s someone calling your name
F
you’re gonna miss that train
