Intro: C Am Dm7 G

               C                            Am            Dm7                            G
Don't get me wrong, if I'm looking kind of dazzled, I see neon lights, whenever you walk by
               C                        Am 
Don't get me wrong, if you say hello and I take a ride
                     Dm7                            G                            C  Am Dm7 G
Upon a sea where the mystic moon, is playing havoc with the tide, don't get me wrong

               C                         Am 
Don't get me wrong, if I'm acting so distracted
                       Dm7                               G
I'm thinking about the fireworks, that go off when you smile
               C                             Am                       Dm7 -  G
Don't get me wrong, if I split like light refracted, I'm only off to wander
                  C
Across a moonlit mile


Dm7         G    Dm7         G     Dm7               G                Dm7          G
Once in a while, two people meet, seemingly for no reason, they just pass on the street
Dm7         G      Dm7           G 
Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere, who can explain the thunder and rain
                                 
But there's something in the air

Solo: C Am Dm7 G    C Am Dm7 G

               C                           Am 
Don't get me wrong, if I come and go like fashion
                   Dm7                         G
I might be great tomorrow, but hopeless yesterday
               C                             Am 
Don't get me wrong, if I fall in the mode of passion
                 Dm7  -  G
It might be unbelievable
                     Am                         Dm7 - G               Am
But let's not say so long, it might just be fantastic,  don't get me wrong



Throughout, you can get closer to the original while playing the chords to lift the C note
(1st fret B string) while playing.  This temporarily make CM7, Amadd9, Dm6, Gsus4 chords.
Just keep the same pattern going while playing (or just play the straight chords if you like)

 included here)
