[Verse]
F#m
Gonna write you a letter
Bm7
Gonna mail it today-ay
F#m
So you won't escape from
Bm7
These things I wanna say
[Verse]
F#m
I wanna thank you for the privilege
Bm7
I wanna thank you for the pain
F#m
I'll be handin' you the ashes
Bm7
I wanna thank you for-or the game
[Pre-Chorus]

We stood on the balcony
A6 Amaj7 A6
And we watched it together
D
We were modern men and women
D6 Dmaj7 D6
Who changed like the weather
A A6 Amaj7 A6
We were one day goin' hot, the next day goin' cold
D D6 D D6
One day growin' restless, the next day growin' old
[Chorus]
F#m Bm7
Waiting for the countdown,
F#m Bm7 F#m
in the summer of '81
F#m Bm7
Sign up or go underground,
F#m Bm7 F#m
in the summer of '81
[Verse]
F#m
There's no time for leather
Bm7
And there's no one on the floor
F#m
So I'll pretend that we're together
Bm7
I don't want to go alone, no-no-no-no
[Interlude]
