Am G Am D9/F# Fmaj7 Am F E

Am G Am D9/F#
i watch the slow hand kill the day
Fmaj7 Am F E
i see my starring role tick away

( repeat the chords )

i watch the skyline for him to come
and when he comes along we’ll be gone . . .

( B | – 3s5 – 3s5 )

Am G Dm Fmaj7
. . . and we’ll go into the city , into the light
A# Am F E
we’ll be there in the headlines , there overnight

Am Em F E
’cos this is the big time , this is the way
A# Am F E
now he’s in the big time , he’ll show you the way
