|Eb fill 1
Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah!
They're always calling on my telephone
When I pick it up there's no-one there

|Eb |Bb fill2

So I walk outside just to take air

Come on with me cruising down the street

Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet
This brave new world's not like yesterday
It can take you higher than the milky way

Now I'm blinded I can really see, yeah

No more bright lights confusing me, no
Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue
Because loving you is all I can do, ooh.....

Intro
..............

Hey good looking boys gather around

The sidewalk papers gutter press you down
All those lies can be so unkind
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind

All your cares now they seem oh so far away
All your fears I fear I once shared

Now I know there's a future for all of us
Not so long ago I was so scared
Intro

You seemed so sad I could see through your twisted smile

So unsure always confused
Pale blue eyes gazing down from your ivory tower
Through the haze all broken and bruised

Then out of the blue love come rushing in
Out of the sky came the sun
Out of left field came a lucky day
Out of the blue no more pain
