words & music by Paul Simon 1978
|E |
In the blue light
| | E9|
Of the Belvedere Motel
A |E | | |
Wondering as the television burns
B7 | |E |
How the heart approaches what it yearns
| |
In a fe-ver
| | E9
I distinctly hear your voice
|A |E | | |
Emerging from a dream, the dream returns
B7 | |E |E7 |
How the heart approaches what it yearns
Gbmaj7 Gb/F |Bbm7 Bbm6|
After the rain on the Interstate
Cm7-5 Cdim |Bbm7
Headlights slide past the moon
|Ebm7-5 |
A bone-weary traveler
Dbmaj7 |Gbmaj7 |
Waits by the side of the road
Gbm6 |B7 |
Where's he going?
Instrumental:
E | | | E9|A |E | | |B7 | |E |E7
|Gbmaj7 Gb/F |Bbm7 Bbm6
I dream we are lying on the top of a hill
|Cm7-5 Cdim |Bbm7
And headlights slide past the moon
|Ebm7-5
I roll in your arms
|Dbmaj7 |Gbmaj7 |
And your voice is the heat of the night
Gbm6 |
I'm on fire
B7 |E |
In a phone booth
| | E9
In some local bar and grill
|A |E | | |
Rehearsing what I'll say, my coin returns
B7 | |E | |
How the heart approaches what it yearns
B7 | |E | |
How the heart approaches what it yearns
