G                                                         Em
Well it felt a New Year long, before you walked in to the door
                    C    D                   G
Before the elevator broke ,  on the 97th floor
                                                                                         
                                                              Em
Well you never knew your dad, and your family’s always been a chore
                           C    D                            G
You said religion gave you lots,  but Laurel Canyon gave you more
                      Em                           G
You had tears in your eyes, we were waiting in the dark
                       Em   Bm          D            G
You had tears in your eyes,   ohhhh the arrow on the mark
G                                                          Em
And now your runnin’ down the hall, pushing cameras to the side                        
                            C      D                          G
And how its spoken with the sounds, that are coming from your eyes

Well, we have methods , we have ways
                          Em                             C   D
And we have aching broken sores, but you said I’m like a wave
                     G
And you’re the rocky shore
                  Em                             G
It took a year to decide, we were banging on the door
                              
    G             Em      Bm                 D                        G
It took a year to decide, ohhh that you were mean’t for something more

(Quietly)
G                                                          Em
Well, it started with a noise, that made us both close our eyes
                    C    D                         G
And as the elevator fell, I coulda sworn I saw you smile
                          Em                              G
But you had tears in your eyes, we were weightless in the dark
                     Em    Bm        D            G
You had tears in your eyes, ohhh the arrow on the mark
                      Em    G
You had tears in your eyes
                      Em   G
You had tears in your eyes
                      Em    G
You had tears in your eyes
                      C        D                G
But I’m glad I got to know you, right before we die
