[Verse 1]
CHeatwaves Gm7add4on the rEbmaj7unway
F7sus2As the wheels set Ab9down
He takes his G7sus2baggage off the Ebmaj7carousel
He takes a taxi into Ebmaj9town
[Verse 2]
CYellow schools Gm7add4of taxi Ebmaj7fishes
F7sus2Jonah in a ticking Ab9whale
Caught up at the G7sus2lights in the fishnet Ebmaj7windows
Of BloomingdEbmaj9ale's
[Chorus 1]
Watching those C9higCm9h faC6/9shionGm7add4 girls C9

AnG7sus2d people thirty Ebmaj7stories down
Look like colored currents in the Ebmaj9street
[Verse 4]
CA helicopter lands on the Gm7add4Pan Am rEbmaj7oof

And G7sus2business men in Ebmaj7button downs
Press into conference Ebmaj9rooms
[Chorus 2]
Battalions of pC9apeCm9r-miC6/9nded Gm7add4males C9

He's caught up in Chief of Ebmaj9Staff

CHe drifts off into thGm7add4e memoryEbmaj7
Of the F7sus2way she looked in Ab9school
With her G7sus2body oiled and Ebmaj7shining
At the public swimming Ebmaj9pool

To tG7sus2ell him like she Ebmaj7did today
Just what he could do with Ebmaj9Harry's House
And Harry's take home C7pay
