INTRO:
A D A E A D A E
A D A E
Somewhere out on that horizon

When you're down that's where you'll stay

(with Fill 1: GUITAR 2)
Nothing grows and life ain't very pretty
(with Part I: GUITAR 1)
No one's there to catch you when you fall
(with Fill 1: GUITAR 2)
Somewhere out on that horizon
(with Fill 1: GUITAR 2)
Far away from the neon sky
(with Fill 1: GUITAR 2)
I know there must be something better
(with Part II: GUITAR 1)
And I can't stay another night
Chorus
