[PRE-VERSE:]
F#m  D  A  A/G#  (x2)


[VERSE:]
          F#m        D  
There's a wild wind blowing,
         A
Down the corner of my street 
      F#m              D              A
Every night there the headlights are glowing 
          F#m       D
There's a cold war coming,
        A
On the radio I heard
   Esus4       E        A
Oh baby it's a violent world 


[CHORUS:]
     F#m        D      C#m
O-oh love don't let me go 
          F#m               D             C#m
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow 
              F#m      D
Because I can hear it coming 
        A      A/G#   F#m
I can hear the sirens sound 
       Esus4      E         A       A/G#
Now my feet won't touch the ground


[PRE-VERSE:]
F#m  D  A  A/G#


[VERSE:]
F#m         D  
Time came   creeping 
   A
Oh time's a loaded gun 
      F#m       D      A
Every road is a ray of light 
        F#m     D
It goes o-o-o-o-o-o-on
A
Time only can lead you on
 Esus4            E         A
Still it's such a beautiful night 


[CHORUS:]
     F#m        D      C#m
O-oh love don't let me go 
          F#m               D             C#m
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow 
              F#m      D
Because I can hear it coming 
       A    A/G#   F#m
Like a serenade of sound 
       Esus4      E         A
