Album: Bet Your Heart On Me
Intro.: | (D) | (D) | (A) | (A) | (Em) | (Em) | (G) | (A) --
(D)Sleep, some nights it just don't (A)show when you push and life won't (Em)go
Your dreams get lost and your (G)sor-(F#m)rows (A)grow
You (D)read and try to watch tee-(A)vee, take a drive out to the (Em)sea
You might break down, but you (G)can't (F#m)break (A)free
(Chorus)
Standin' in a (D)crossfire, hangin' from a (Bm)live wire
Reachin' for a (G)lost smile, hidin' in the (A)wind
Standin' in a (D)crossfire, stranded on a (Bm)high wire
Runnin' from a (G)reason and (A) lookin' for a (D)friend
(D)Dreams, your eyes are almost (A)blind, they photograph your (Em)mind
And leave a trace of her (G)love (F#m)in (A)time
(D)Nights, you live the smoky (A)past, tryin' to break the sell she (Em)cast
You start out first but you (G)end (F#m)up (A)last
(Chorus)
Standin' in a (D)crossfire, hangin' from a (Bm)live wire
Reachin' for a (G)lost smile, hidin' in the (A)wind
Standin' in a (D)crossfire, stranded on a (Bm)high wire
Runnin' from a (G)reason and (A) lookin' for a (D)friend
Inst.: --- | (D) | (A) | (A) | (Em) | (Em) | (G) | (A) --
(Chorus)
Standin' in a (D)crossfire, hangin' from a (Bm)live wire
Reachin' for a (G)lost smile, hidin' in the (A)wind
Standin' in a (D)crossfire, stranded on a (Bm)high wire
Runnin' from a (G)reason ----to fade
