Intro: Cmaj7 
 
verse 1 
 
C 
Some days when I'm far away 
     Fsus4 
In a lonely room in a cold seclusion 
C 
Some nights when I'm wound so tight 
         Fsus4  
There is no release, there is no solution 
C 
In hell there's a big hotel 
          Fsus4 
Where the bar just closed and the windows never opened 
C 
No phone so you can't call home 
        Fsus4 
And the tv works, but the clicker is broken 
Ebmaj7     F6 F     Ebmaj7     Fadd9 F 
But in the darkness I see your light turned on 
Ebmaj7      F6 F      Ebmaj7       Fadd9 F 
You know my weakness, you know how I respond to 
 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C 
Your hands are cold, your eyes are fire 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C                         
They shine as though you're burning inside 
G             D   C 
One word from you is all I need to be inspired 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C                 C B G F 
I need your inspiration tonight 
 
verse 2 
 
C 
These days there's a million ways 
      Fsus4 
To be pulled and torn, to be misdirected 
C 
These times there are sins and crimes 
       Fsus4 
On the morning shows for the disconnected 
C 
I look and I write my book 
      Fsus4    
And I walk away with the wrong impressions 
C 
I don't care 'cause I've done my share 
      Fsus4 
And I need some time for my own obsessions 
Ebmaj7     F6 F    Ebmaj7        Fadd9 F 
It doesn't matter, I've let that life go by 
Ebmaj7    F6 F       Ebmaj7      Fadd9 F 
It's been forgotten 'cause all I wanted was you 
 
 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C 
Your hands are cold, your eyes are fire 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C                         
They shine as though you're burning inside 
G             D   C 
One word from you is all I need to be inspired 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C                 C B G F 
I need your inspiration tonight 
 
 
verse 3 
 
C 
These days not a damn soul prays 
          Fsus4    
And there is no faith 'cause there's nothing to believe in 
C 
These days only good luck pays 
      Fsus4    
If we don't get paid then we try to get even 
C 
I look and I write my book 
      Fsus4    
And I have my say and I draw conclusions 
C 
Some nights when I'm wound so tight 
         Fsus4    
There is no release, there is no solution 
Ebmaj7     F6 F     Ebmaj7     Fadd9 F 
But in the darkness I see your light turned on 
Ebmaj7      F6 F      Ebmaj7       Fadd9 F 
You know my weakness, you know how I respond to  
 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C 
Your hands are cold, your eyes are fire 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C                         
They shine as though you're burning inside 
G             D   C 
One word from you is all I need to be inspired 
G           D 
Blonde over blue 
C                 C B G F 
I need your inspiration tonight
