F Dm C Bb
Dark weekends in the sun out on Chelsea Row
F Dm Gm Bb
Descending the stairs Frankie my one
F Dm C Bb
Check your makeup in the mirror come on baby let's go
F Dm Gm Bb F#
We'll dance round this dirty town 'till the night is all done
Then all the finer things sleep alone tonight
G# G# Gm Fm Eb
Then all the minor kings lose their thrones tonight
Bbm G# Bb C
Don't worry about us baby we'll be alright
F Dm C Bb
Well everybody's dying, this town's closing down
F Dm Gm Bb
Their all sittin' down at the courthouse waiting for 'em to take the flag down
F Dm C Bb
I see strange flashes in the sky up above
F Dm Gm Bb
Gonna spend the night at the drive-in with the one that I love
G#
At dusk the stars all appear on the screen
Bb Bb Am Gm F
Yeah just like they do each night in my dreams
Cm
But tonight's no dream Frankie
Eb
I can feel myself too
Bb | F Dm | C Bb | F Dm | Gm Bb |
Well now and forever my love is for you
Eb
Walk softly tonight little stranger
Yeah into these shadows we're passing through
Talk softly tonight little angel
Bb F
You make all my dream worlds come true

F Dm C Bb
Well lately I've been standing out in the freezing rain
F Dm Gm Bb
Readin' them want ads out on Chelsea Road
F Dm C Bb
I'm winging down the street in search of new games
F Dm Gm Bb
Hustling through these nightlights' diamond glow
G#
Well Frankie I don't know what I m gonna find
Bb Bb Am Gm F
Maybe nothing at all, maybe a world I can call mine
Cm Eb
Shining like these streetlights down here on the strand
Bb | F Dm | C Bb | F Dm | Gm Bb |
Bright as the rain in the palm of your hand
