Lyrics

(E5)Lights go down, it’s (A)dark, the jun gle is your (E5)head, can’t rule your (A)heart.

A feel ing so much (E5)strong er than a (A)thought, your eyes are wide and through your (E5)soul, it can’t be (A)bought, your mind can wan der.

Hel lo, hel lo.

I’m at a place called (A)Ver ti go.

It’s ev ’ry thing I wish I (D)did n’t know, ex cept you

give me some thing I can feel,

feel.

The (E5)night is full of (A)holes, as bul lets rip the (E5)sky of ink with (A)gold.

They twin kle as the (E5)boys play rock and (A)roll.

They know that they can’t (E5)dance, at least they (A)know...

I can’t stand the (Em7)beats, I’m ask ing for the (A5)check, (G)the girl with crim son (Em7)nails has Je sus ’round her (A7)neck, swing ing to the (Em7)mus ic, swing ing to the (A7)mu sic.

Oh,

oh, (A5)oh.

Check mat ed,

hours of fun,

check mat ed.

Hel lo, hel lo.

We’re at a place called (A)Ver ti go.

Lights go down and (D)all I know is that you

give me some thing I can (E)feel, your love teach ing me how.

Your love is (D)teach ing me how,

how to kneel.

Kneel.
