Capo on 1st fret
              
 
 
Intro D  G  D  G  
 
D                   A        G 
Step outside in the midnight rain 
G                     A        D 
King and queen of the streets again 
D                      A           G 
Got young love running through our veins 
G                         A   D 
And it keeps us numb like novacaine  
 
G  D                G   D 
Alright, we can go all night 
                G     D               A 
'Cause we got a whole lot of fight in us 
            G    D                  G  D 
And I see a long road that we gotta follow 
       G    D           A 
Before tomorrow catches up 
 
D                   G  D 
Oh, we just take it easy 
Bm              G   D 
Hold on to this feeling 
D                   G   D 
All our friends are leaving 
A 
And we ain't got nowhere to go 
G 
 
Caught up in the afterglow 
 
( D  G ) 
  
Caught up in the afterglow  
 
D                       G        D 
Can't stay here but you can't go home 
        A              G         D 
Did you hear that line somewhere before? 
    D                  G       D 
And you look just fine on your own 
    A                     G    D 
But we look better in the afterglow 
  
G  D                G   D 
Alright, we can go all night 
                G     D               A 
'Cause we got a whole lot of fight in us 
            G    D                  G  D 
And I see a long road that we gotta follow 
       G    D           A 
Before tomorrow catches up  
 
D                   G  D 
Oh, we just take it easy 
Bm              G   D 
Hold on to this feeling 
D                   G   D 
All our friends are leaving 
A 
And we ain't got nowhere to go 
G 
Caught up in the afterglow 
  
( D  G ) 
  
A 
And we ain't got nowhere to go 
G 
Caught up in the afterglow 
  
D                   G  D 
Oh, we just take it easy 
Bm              G   D 
Hold on to this feeling 
D                      G   D 
Oh, no we don't need a reason 
A 
Cos we ain't got nowhere to go 
G 
Caught up in the afterglow  
 
D 
When the lights go down 
Come find me in the afterglow 
D 
Waiting to be found 
I'll meet you in the afterglow 
D 
When the lights go down 
Come find me in the afterglow 
D 
Waiting to be found  
I'll meet you in the afterglow
