Intro: Em    A     Em     A     D 
 
(v.1) 
Em7               A 
The first time I saw you 
Em7                A             A7     D 
You were waitin' tables at the corner diner 
Em7           A 
I said to myself 
Em7            A        A7    D 
Never seen a woman look any finer 
G 
From that moment on 
 
I was stone cold gone 
                            D 
You would be forever in my mind 
Em7                         A 
Now somewhere in the neon lights 
Em7                      A 
I'm holding on for dear life 
Em7                           A       D 
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight 
 
(v.2) 
 
It was San Francisco 
Silly suits and white ties by the bay 
You appeared with your papa 
Tears were rolling down your mother's face 
Everyone was happy 
Showered by well wisherâs as we drove away 
Now somewhere in the neon lights 
I'm holding on for dear life 
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight 
 
(Bridge) 
    Bm          F# 
I'm living but dying 
    Bm            F# 
I'm laughing but crying 
  Bm             E       E7    A 
Somebody tell me it will be alright 
 
(v.3) 
 
I bought it for your birthday 
God you looked so lovely in that dress 
I took you to a party 
Or was it to a nightclub I forget 
Been twenty years and counting 
I'm drowning in your love a little more each day 
Now somewhere in the neon lights 
I'm holding on for dear life 
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight 
 
Now somewhere in the neon lights 
I'm holding on for dear life 
Rockin' in the arms of your memory tonight
