Biography:
Dressed in leather, brandishing heavy guitars, and exhibiting an unabashed fetish for British Invasion pop, the Smithereens were an anomaly in the American college rock scene of the late '80s. Lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Pat DiNizio stood out not only with his strange beatnik goatee, but also because his catchy hooks were haunting, not punchy, and because his lyrics were morose. As time wore on, the group became more straightforward, turning into an excellent bar band, one that attacked pop songs with the weight of AC/DC.

[Verse 1]
G# E F#
There's a light in the window that tells me you're home
G# E F#
Eyes in the rear-view mirror that I call my own
G# E F#
There's a time I remember when I called you mine
G# E F#
Memories of your kisses much sweeter than wine
[Chorus]

Maybe I won't be afraid to love somebody new
