(oh hey) (oh hey)
Bb C
Tell me what does it take to make good now
Bb C
How many years do you wait?
Bb C
Oh and now all of the clouds are combining
Dm F
That flickering light's just a flame
Bb C
I’m so tired
Dm F
I’ve been awake for so many years
Bb C
But I guess I’ll just wait a bit longer
Dm F
I’ll stay till they open the gates
Bb
But yeah, All my life I stayed here waiting
F Dm F
Every new year always making me
Bb
feel as though there’s nothing up there
F Dm F
But one day you came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
1985 was a good year.
F C
The sky broke apart and you appeared,
Bb Dm
Fly from the heavens they called me a dreamer
F C
I won’t lie I knew you'd belong here
Dm Bb (pay attention, this line is opposite the first line of the chorus)
Lifted off the ground
F C
I took your hands and pulled you down
Bb Dm
Because 1985 was a good year.
F C
I won’t lie I knew you'd belong here
Bb C
Well how many years has it been now?
Bb C
How many days went to waste?
Bb C
Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
Dm F
The suns got a smile cross the face
Bb C
I’m so tired
Dm F
I fight so hard and come back beaten
Bb C
But our beacon will burn through it brightly
Dm F
And soar through a sliver of space
Bb
But yeah, All my life I stayed here waiting
F Dm F
Every new year always making me
Bb
feel as though there’s nothing up there
F Dm F
But one day you came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
1985 was a good year.

The sky broke apart and you appeared,
Bb Dm
Fly from the heavens they called me a dreamer

I won’t lie I knew you'd belong here

Bb Dm
Because 1985 was a good year.

I won’t lie I knew you'd belong here
