Verse 2  (Use Same Chords As Verse 1)



Typewriter steel and gray - work away - everybody's going     home
Over across town - caught in a crowd - still living alone
Little room for her out of the rain
A little something for the pain
Lady-in-waiting patiently for the lord of the rock n' roll     aristocracy
Dreaming in photographs at night - love's like sand held in     your hand
so tight.



(Chorus)



 Syth solo over Am Riff played by acoustic and electric     guitars very
little variation



Bridge (Verse 3)
(C)
Everyday's like the day before
(G)
Come in tired and lock the door
(F)
paint your space with magic hands
(F)
Shining slick and dandy
(G)			(F)-->(G)
Smile at your fans
(Am)
"C'mon pretty boy sing for us take me
(F)
Take me over the edge
  (G)
I know you're good enough.



(Chorus)



	 Various instruments solo until the end (which fades  out) For the
most part the acoustic guitar uses Riff 1 and  variations of that riff,
the solo's such as the electric  guitar are done in the key of Am and all
other Instruments  are playing Am or some variation of the chord or a riff
in  the key of Am.
