Amber Waves
Tori Amos

Verse 1:
       B      A/C#        E
Well he lit you up like Amber Waves in his movie show
           B
He fixed you up real good
   A/C#       E
'til I don't know you anymore
   B         A/C#          E
From ballet class to a lap dance straight to video
         B
And the pool side news
     A/C#     E
Was that he would be launching you

Pre-Chorus:
   B   A/C#    E
Into every young man's bedroom (you gave it up)
   B   A/C#    E
On DVD and magazine (you gave it up)
   B   A/C#    E
A private rite of passage (you gave it up)
   B   A/C#    E
To every boy's sweet dream With their paper cuts

Chorus:
  F              Am
You said "he's got a healing machine
        F         G
It glows in the dark, glows in the dark"
   F                Am
You say "there's not a lot of me
    F           Em
Left anymore, just leave it alone
  D           C
But if you're by and you have the time
     Am    G       D
Tell the Northern lights to keep shining
Am    G          D
Lately it seems like they're drowning"

Verse 2:
      B
He could light you up
   A/C#           E
And summon every swan to the Lakeside
        B       A/C#  E
Off to Cabo San Lucas for some optical stimulus
     B             A/C#
Then you started to guess there was someone else
      E             B
Though His flint glass seeing all of you
A/C#       E
Immersed in his sepia

Pre-Chorus:
   B   A/C#    E
Into every young man's bedroom (you gave it up)
   B   A/C#    E
On DVD and magazine (you gave it up)
   B   A/C#    E
A private rite of passage (you gave it up)
   B   A/C#    E
To every boy's sweet dream With their paper cuts

Chorus:
 F              Am
You said "he's got a healing machine
        F         G
It glows in the dark, glows in the dark"
   F                Am
You say "there's not a lot of me
    F           Em
Left anymore, just leave it alone
  D           C
But if you're by and you have the time
     Am    G       D
Tell the Northern lights to keep shining
Am    G          D
Lately it seems like they're drowning"

Outro:
   D        C
So I went by cause I had the time
       Am    G       D
And told the Northern Lights to keep shining
   Am     G        D
They told me to tell you they're waving
