in the [Em7]silence of the side street, [CM9] [G6/D] in the [Em7]whisper of the night [CM9] [G6/D]
from the [Em7]darkness of the empty hours [CM9] [G6/D] to the [Em7]early morning light [CM9] [G6/D]
from the [G]hustle down on [D]main street [Em] [C] with [G]all it's lights so [D]bright [Em] [C]
to the [G]trucker on the [D]highway [Em] [C] pressing through the [D]night

{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
I'm in a [Em7]European disco [CM9] [G6/D] and it's [Em7]thumping up the beat [CM9] [G6/D]
there's a [Em7]jukebox in a cafe [CM9] [G6/D] where the [Em7]younger ones can meet [CM9] [G6/D]
we got [G]freezing coca-[D]cola, [Em] [C] we got [G]anything you [D]want [Em] [C]
I-[G]I can feel that [D]back beat, [Em] [C] girl, but it's [D]you that sings the song
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus}
'cause [G]I can hear you [D]heartbeat [Em] [C]

and I'm [Em7]sailing on your wind song, [CM9] [G6/D] oh, I can [Em7]feel the summer breeze [CM9] [G6/D]
you've got me [Em7]walking on my tiptoes, [CM9] [G6/D] you've got me [Em7]standing on my knees [CM9] [G6/D]
from the [G]Mills way down in [D]Pittsburgh [Em] [C] to the [G]clubs of gay Pa[D]ris [Em] [C]
no [G]matter where I [D]roam, girl, [Em] [C] you can [D]always get to me
