G C
Ohhh... It takes cold dry eyes...
G C
Ohhh... In your quiet eyes problems arose...
G C
It doesn't take a man, man at all, to shine this light
G C
All it takes, a green light to show that the day's alright,
G C
Down... down the road, Cause now you know, now you know
G C
It takes a woman you breeze when you follow the road, my dream
G
C
And on this quiet night, only starry skies, it carries us home
G C
It will take you to the winds, to find the man, the life I've once known
G C
My feet are on the ground, head is in the sound, baby we need, we're flying free,
G C
I knew we would, I knew we would, I knew we would.
G C G C

G C
It takes the freedom you go, when you follow the road, we're hangin on
G C
And on these quiet days, only sunny rays, it carries me home, way beyond
G C
Take me to the winds to find the man, life I once known
G C
My feet are on the ground, my head is in the sound, and baby we need, we're flying free
G C
I knew we could, I knew we would, I knew we could, I knew we would.

G C
Oh... in your quiet eyes the problems return to my old home.
G C
It doesn't take a man, man at all, to shine this light
G C
All it takes is a green light to show the days alright, days alright
G C
Honey now we know.
