Intro: G      F      G       F      D 
 
 
verse 1 
 
G 
Turn on the radio, turn off the lights 
                                             Dm 
We'll bring an end, darling, to your endless night 
                                C       D 
You're on the wrong side of the street 
 
G 
I see your fortune in the lines in your face 
                                      Dm 
I knew you're looking for your saving grace 
                                F 
You're on the wrong side of the street 
 
C 
Fear and desire such a sweet confusion 
      D 
Well, open your eyes and throw down your illusions 
    F               C                D 
And see you never belonged here with me 
 
G  
You and your poetry and your cool, cool world 
                                               Dm 
You been working hard on that face of a martyr girl 
                                C        D 
You're on the wrong side of the street 
 
G 
You got the look and you own your world 
                                                 Dm 
But here you better check your diamonds and your pearls 
                                F 
You're on the wrong side of the street 
 
 
C       
You get bored of every day bringing the same 
       D  
So you go out looking for some strange new games 
           F                       C                             D 
But pretty soon you don't know the score or what you're looking for 
 
G      F      G      F     D 
 
 
Guitar + Sax Solo: G   Dm     C      D      G    Dm      F 
 
 
C        
You get bored of every day bringing the same 
       D   
So you go out looking for some strange new games 
           F                       C                           D 
But pretty soon you don't know the score or what you came here for 
 
G 
Turn on the radio, turn off the lights 
                                             Dm 
We'll bring an end, darling, to this endless night 
                              F 
Here on the wrong side of the street 
 
C 
Fear and desire such a sweet confusion 
       D 
Well, open your eyes and throw down your illusions 
    F                           C               D 
And see tonight there's no one here but you and me
