Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

When the moon was just right

We could turn off the light and just listen

And we'd pray to the night

And we'd hold on so tight

You could hear crystal stars as they'd glisten

Lovers in vain

Like to walk in the rain

Like to hear distant trains emotion

And the late radio

We would play it so low

No one must know this devotion

Chorus

Rock ballad - Rock ballad

You know baby and I used to listen all night long

To the real slow song -Till the tears were gone

Verse

And these jobs and these schools

Teach romance is for fools

And the dream always ends upon waking

And we all kept our cool like a hustler shoot pool

And soon your whole life is spent faking

Cause to try is to fail

And as the wind left your sails

All you heard was the sound of their laughter

But I was running so fast

With the wind racing past

All I heard was a voice say "go after her"

Chorus

Rock ballad - Rock ballad

You know baby and I used to listen all night long

To the real slow song -Till the tears were gone

gone

Verse

And these soul clarinets

And the feelings we get

It's the songs of regret I remember

And we placed our last bet

On loves long shot request

As they spun the roulette that September

Now let's all raise our glass

For a drink to the past

And a drink to the last chance taken

And let's drink once again to our long lost friends

No, we can't let it end the surf's breaking

Rock ballad - Rock ballad
