Sonny signed his name up for tomorrow

    D
And laughed with all this friends

   Bm             E              F
At all the little men who borrow tunes

They heard just yesterday

Chorus

                        A
And then the nightmares come

                  D
And you get blown away
(when your friends go away, on last chorus)

D (continue to strum)
And up in your room your walls are cold

D (continue to strum)
You find your head is holding out

                            A
For the welcome of a better day

                        A
And then the nightmares come

                  D
And you get blown away

D (continue to strum)
And up in your room

D (continue to strum)
Your walls are getting colder

D (continue to strum)
Like youre getting on a roller coaster

                  A
You cant find the breaks

Verse 3 (Same chords as above)

Stevie burned the sky when he flew away
And left us things to say
When all the world was falling down
Around our shoulders; cold and grey
Harry carried on in his usual way
And minnie went inside
He came out once and we both cried
And minnie blew my head away

(repeat chorus and chords)

G
When youre giving everything away

Bm
Everybody lets you pay

E
Youre saving up for a better day

E
Seeing things in a better way

G
When you know youve got to live

Bm
Theres nothing you wont give

E
To hear the phone and not let it ring

      A (barred)  G#/Ab     F    E       D
Every mon    -     day     mor - or   -  ning


Solo

Shughie found love and he almost cried
We laughed and wondered why
We loved the sky and found the space
And gazed out over stevies plane
