1981

	  		
Intro Am  F  Bb Gm 

Am                  F 
Our sunset secret's everywhere 
Bb 
In her eyes 
          Gm 
And every strand of her hair 

Am 
Seductive as sin 
    F              Bb 
But we can't begin again 
 Gm 
No no 

Am                        F 
She hides her fears in her lover's head 
Bb                     Gm 
Lives out her fears in her lover's bed 
Am              F 
All the while, in her own style 
     Bb               Gm 
She's in love with a shadow 

Am                F 
She just wants to feel god's breath 
Bb 
Moving through her years 
Gm 
Moving her to tears 
Am               F 
Sometimes being used 
Bb                         Gm 
Is better than being nothing at all 



F   C   Bb 
          Like it was 1981 
Gm   Bb   Dm 
            And i was driving you home 
F7M   C   Bb 
              We could be in love 
Gm   Bb   Dm 
            At least we could pretend 

Am              F 
      Yeah i'm awake  but just barely 
Bb 
You're laying next to me 
Gm                           Am 
And you look me squarely in the eyes 
F 
But to my surprise 
Bb 
You see nothing 
     Gm 
What's there to see? 

Am                       F 
A walking shade, mostly a ghost 
                   Bb 
If there ever were a time 
                   Gm 
When i needed you the most 
            Am 
This would be it 

F 
Sometimes being used 
   Bb                           Gm 
Is better than being nothing at all 

Am              F             Bb 
I will wait for you to find yourself 
              Gm 
And then i'll wait some more 
F  C  Bb  Gm   Bb Dm 
Like it was 1981 
F Bb   Gm  Bb   Dm 
And i was driving you home 
F C  Bb7M  Bb  Gm    Bb Dm 
Yeah we could be in love 
F  C  Bb  Gm  Bb  Dm 

Final Am  F  Bb  Gm
