[Intro]
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
