[C] I
[Gm] [C]
was making my way through the wasteland, [Cm] the road into town passes [C] through.
I was [Gm] changing the radio [C] stations with [Gm] my mind on you.
[C]
All your [Gm] friends call you Lily [C] Paloma, [Gm] but that's not the way that [C] you are.
It's [Gm] too much of a gentle [C] Miss Loma for [Bb] a shooting [Dm] star.
[C]
[F] But you [Bb] and me [F] baby, I saw [C] you there.
[F] Straight away [C] I knew, [F] there's really no hiding.
I'll tell you [C] right now [F] what we're gonna [C] do.
[Eb] Well you're collecting the [F] days, [Ab] putting the moments [G] away.
[Bb] You're on my [C] mind like a song [Cm] on the radio.
[C]
[Bb] You're on my [C] mind like a song on the radio.
I [Bb] remember the first time [C] I saw you, [Gm] alone in the dark [C] with a drink,
with a [Bb] candle flame burning [C] before you [Bb] and your thoughts closed in.
[C]
You were [Gm] staring out into [C] the distance, not [Bb] seeming to hear what [C] I said.
[Gm] Why did you put up [C] such resistance like [Bb] all the lights were [Dm] red?
[C]
[F] It's too much of a gentle Miss Loma for a shooting star.
But you and me baby, I saw [C] you there.
Straight [F] [C] away I knew, [F] there's really no hiding.
I'll tell you [C] right now what [F] we're gonna [C] do.
[Eb] Well you're collecting [F] the days,
[Ab] putting the moments [G] away.
[Bb] You're on my [C] mind like a song on the [Cm] radio.

don't [Gm] know what it was that [C] was painful, [Gm] but sometimes it's there [C] in your face.
There are times when you just look disdainful [Gm] of the human race.
[C]
Ah, [Fm] but then on the wings [C] of emotion, [Gm] we circle each other [C] in flight.
[F] Tucked together we roll like [C] the ocean in [Bb] its bed of night.

[F] It's you and me baby, I saw [C] you there.
