Intro:
Cadd9 G (x4)

Verse 1:
       Cadd9        G
We were drinking like the Irish
   Cadd9          G
But we were drinking scotch
   Cadd9           G
Bartender turns on a movie
   Am           D
Everybody turned to watch
        Cadd9        G
And every single eye was gleaming
     Am
And he reached the final scene
Cadd9       G
Well, at least mine did
      Cadd9       G
Here's lookin' at you, kid

Chorus:
     Cadd9 G
It's a mad mission
     Cadd9      G
Under difficult conditions
Cadd9       G
Not everybody makes it
Am        D
To the loving cup
     Cadd9 G
It's a mad mission
    Cadd9    G
But i got the ambition
Cadd9     G
Mad, mad mission
Cadd9  G
Sign me up

Instrumental:
Cadd9 G (x4)

Verse 2:
         Cadd9       G
I think i've seen the look before
      Cadd9        G
Yes it's kind of non-commital
      Cadd9       G
It says come hither, baby, but then he's
Am          D
Hard wood to whittle
Cadd9              G
It says it don't mean a thing,
   Am
but still, somehow it does
             Cadd9       G
He'd like you to join the club he likes to say
      Cadd9           G
There's no such thing as love

Chorus:
Cadd9 G (x8)
     Cadd9          G
Sometimes you find yourself
Cadd9      G
Flying low at night
Cadd9        G
Flying blind and looking for
Am (hold)  D (hold)
Any sign of light
      Cadd9 (hold)
You're cold and scared, and all alone
       Am (hold)
You'd do anything just to make it home
Cadd9 G (x2)

Chorus:
Cadd9 G (x3)
Cadd9  G

Cadd9 G (x4)
