[Verse 1]
D5*         Am           Bb               F
Taking at least  glan-ce   at the control poom...
Gm                  Dm              C                     A
  The screens still broad-cast... a smi-le (a smile) from you (from you).


[Chorus]
Dm                    Am
  I face the blue hall-way (hall-way)
Bb                      F
  With its buzzing neon lights...
Gm                    Dm
  At the rear stand a boy  now... :
     C                        C7
It's me, (it's me) it's  my life (my life).

[Chorus]
Dm          Am
   I'm not afraid  now...
Bb                   F
 Since I feel a nice whi-le...
Gm           Dm
   Presence abo-ve me...
   C                   C7
" Okay ! (Okay !) Jump now ! "

Cm*         Bb*                G*           C*
 ' Liked to run... through the red... poppy fields
Cm*        Bb               G         C
   With my dog... she would ne-ver... reach me.
Cm*        Bb*             G*          C*
 ' Used to stare... at the sun... to blind me...
Cm*          Bb*    Gm*           C*
    Stick my ton-on-on-gue on the eyes
Cm*        Bb*              Gm*             C*
    Waving o-o-obscene "goodbyes..." to the dri-vers,
Cm*         Bb*            Gm*               C*
   Kneeling dowb... on the old... school bus backseat.

  And now  I   go   back   to   that...
