Roddy Frame - Surf

^BAmazing, grace-filled ^D#mguiding light ^ESee her safely ^F#home tonight ^BThe east-side squares've grown ^D#mcold and loud ^ESince I lived there with the ^F#twilight crowd ^EThe west end lights have ^F#lost their wow ^ETrail my thoughts, show me the way to the ^Bheart of her ^EI'm half-lost, wondering if I should ^Bfollow Or ^F#lay low

^BSweet, slight arresting ^D#mbright light smile ^G#mPeels back the la^F#yered big city style ^BAnd reveals me in the ^D#mmystery ^G#mof what her world could ^F#mean to me ^EShe's an island girl I'm ^F#lost at sea

^BWhen I was young the ^D#mradio played ^Ejust for me, it ^C#msaved me ^{F# B}And now I don't want ^D#manyone who ^Ewants me, ^C#mbaby ^{F# B}Tuning out the ^D#mdarkness ^G#mTurning on the ^C#dawn ^BIf life was like the songs, I'd surf ^F#across the curved horizon ^F#and forget her and be ^Bgone

^BSo I check my map for ^D#mtiny signs Of ^G#mwhere she's at and ^F#where she's been ^BBut it's made from scraps of ^D#mstupid lines From ^G#msongs and scenes and ^F#magazines ^EIt doesn't tell me ^F#what it means ^ETake her face out of the start of the ^Bday for me ^EI'm half crazed, wondering if I should ^Bfollow Or ^F#let it go

Can't get ^Bstraight Lost my ^D#mway I'm over^G#mcome by her spell ^F#

^BWhen I was young the ^D#mradio played ^Ejust for me, it ^C#msaved me ^{F# B}And now I don't want ^D#manyone who ^Ewants me, ^C#mbaby ^{F# B}Tuning out the ^D#mdarkness ^G#mTurning on the ^C#dawn If ^Blife was like the songs, I'd surf i^F#nto the waves and ^F#in a splash of silver she'd be ^Bgone
