(Ebmaj9)Fri day night, I’m go ing no where; (Abmaj7)all the lights are chang ing green to red.
(Ebmaj9)Turn ing o ver T V sta tions, (Abmaj7)sit u a tions run ning through my head.
(Ebmaj7)Look ing back through time, you know, it’s clear that I’ve been blind.
I’ve been a (Ebmaj7)fool
to o pen up my heart to all that (Abmaj7)jeal ous y, that bit ter ness, that rid i cule.
If you want it,
come and get it,
for cry ing out loud.
The love that I was
giv ing you was
nev er in
doubt.
Let go of your heart,
let go of your head
and feel it now.
Let go of your heart,
let go of your head
and feel it now,
Bab y lon,
Bab y lon.
(Ebmaj9)Sat ur day I’m run ning wild, and all the lights are chang ing red to green.
(Ebmaj9)Mov ing through the crowds, I’m push ing.
(Abmaj7)Chem i cals are rush ing in my (Ebmaj9)blood stream.
On ly wish that you were here.
You know, I’m see ing it so clear.
I’ve been a (Ebmaj9)fraid
to show you how I real ly feel, ad mit to some of those bad mis (Ebmaj9)takes I’ve made.
Well,
now.
Let go of your heart,
let go of your head
and feel
it.
Let go of your heart,
let go of your head
and feel it now,
Bab y lon,
Bab y lon,
Bab y lon,
Bab y lon,
Bab y lon.
Well, w w well, well, well.
