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)
