Lyrics

When sky blue gets dark e nough

to see the col ors of the cit y lights,

a trail of (Eb)ru by red and (Fm7)dia mond white

(Cm7)hits her like a (Eb)sun rise.

(Bb)She comes and goes and (G)comes and goes like no one can.

To (Cm7)night she’s out to lose her self

and (Cm7)find a high on Peach tree Street.

From mixed drinks to tech no beats it’s al ways

(Cm7)heav y in to (Eb)ev ’ry thing.

(Bb)She comes and goes and (G)comes and goes like no one can.

She comes and goes and no one knows she’s slip ping (G)through my hands.

She’s al ways buzz ing just like ne (G)on, ne (Cm7)on.

Ne (G)on, ne (Cm7)on.

Who (G)knows how (Cm7)long, how long, how long

she can go be fore she burns a way?

(Cm7)I can’t be her (Eb)an gel now.

You know it’s not my place to (Eb)hold her down.

And it’s (Cm7)hard for me to (Eb)take a stand

when I would (Cm7)take her an y (Eb)way I can.

(Bb)She comes

and she (G)goes

like no one can.

She comes

and she (G)goes;

she’s slip ping (G)through my hands.

She’s al ways (Bbsus2)buzz ing just like go be fore she burns a way,

a (Abm7)way.

She comes

and she goes

like no one can.

She comes

and she goes;

she’s slip ping (G)through my hands.

She’s al ways (Bbsus2)buzz ing just like ne (G)on, ne (Cm7)on.

Ne (G)on, ne (Cm7)on.

Who (G)knows how (Cm7)long, how long, how long

she can go be fore she burns a way?
