( I just ) Died in your arms tonight    - Cutting Crew ( 1987 )

                               Words & Music by Nick Eede
                                As recorded by Cutting Crew

This song is not only thier biggest single but also one of the greatest new
wave rock
song. This single went to  billboard chart top in 1987.
They are originally formed in canada. But they began thier music actvity in uk
initially.
I still like this song. One more thing is , I don't think this crd
transcription is perfectly correct.
So, I'll really appreciate if someone could

Is there any just cause  / for feeling like this?
On the surface     / I'm a name on a  list

I've lost and found, it's my final mistake ,
She's loving by prozy, no give and all take,
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
