 Life- line to the wind.
 Dsus2 D Dsus2 D 
     
 Leave this heart of clay,
 Dsus D Asus4 A 
     
 See you walk, walk away,
 Asus4 A Dsus2 D 
     
 Into the night.
 Dsus D Asus4 A 
     
 And through the rain.
 Asus4 A Dsus2 D 
     
 Into the half-light,
 Dsus D Asus4 A 
     
 And through the flame.
 Asus4 A Dsus2 D Dsus2 D 
      
 If I could throw myself,
 set your spirit free.
 I'd lead your heart away,
 See you break, break away
 Into the light.
 And to the day.

 /*Note fom Pete: I bar (barre) them on the 5th fret here*/
 
 Hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo.

 And so to fade away.

 Oh, no, no.
 
 If you should ask then maybe
 They tell you what I would say.
 True colors fly in blue and black,
 Bruised silken skies and burning flag.
 Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes.
 A D (Once again, regular chords now)
 
 /*See notes above.*/
 
 Hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo.
 A D 
   
 If I could, you know I would.
 
 If I could, I would let it go.
 This desparation.
 Dislocation.
 Separation.
 Condemnation.
 Revelation.
 Temptation.
 Isolation.
 Desolation.
 
 Let it go,
 And so to fade away.
 To let it go,
 And so fade away.
 Oh, no
 I'm wide awake.
 I'm wide awake.
 I'm not sleeping.
 Oh, no no
 
 BTW, the versions on Live Aid and Wide Awake In America are moved down
 a 1/2 step. I find that most of their live stuff is
 Tuned down like that.
