Verse 1: 0:27
  G       A5      F
When the daylight
            C5            D5
Is falling down into the night
         A5        F
And the sharks try
          C5
To cut a big
              Esus4 E
Piece out of life,
0:41
         Asus4    Am   F6
It feels alright to go out
         F  C5
To catch an
              D5
Outrageous thrill.
          Asus4      Am       F6
But it's more like spinning wheels
       F   C5
Of fortune
                    E5 | E5
Which never stand still.

Verse 2: 1:11
  G       A5      F
When the sunlight
          C5       D5
Is rising up in my eyes
         A5        F
And the long night
             C5
Has left me back
               Esus4 E
At somebody's side,
1:25
         Asus4    Am    F6
It feels alright for a long,
         F   C5
Sweet minute,
              D5
Like hours before.
          Asus4     Am     F6
But it's more like looking out
          F   C5
For something,
               E5 | E5
Can't find anymore.

Bridge: 2:11
E5              G5
  There is no dream
                      C5
That you can't make true,
                       B5
If you're looking for love.
2:18
E5                G5
  But there's no girls
            C5
Burning the ice
              D5 | D5
Away from my heart,
         A5 ->
Maybe tonight.
