[Verse 1]
                            E                      C#m
She said "You can't stay a saint that long in the city"
                    E                  C#m
you laugh at the thought on the the elevator down
C#m
You're just a phone call away

                  E                   C#m
You're placing a big blind bet on the underdog
                  E                                     
and though its a stretch, you believe
                        C#m
when you're against the odds, and on your feet
                   A                B          
with you at your best, and promises kept,
                   C#m                          E          
she'd rather stay here with you on the laziest afternoons with you.


[Chorus]

E B                A             C#m         
  Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.


[Verse 2]

                E                           C#m
You woke to the screech of the wheels on a runway
             E
An ocean of praise on a stage,
                  C#m
the songs of your love fall to your knees.
                   A                          B          
with you at your best, this is all you've got left,
                   C#m                          E          
she'd rather stay here with you on the laziest afternoons with you.


[Chorus]

E B                A             C#m         
  Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
E      B                   A        C#m                   E
  When hearts hang on the line, and all that you fear has happened
E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.


[Bridge]

         G#m                               A
Was it something that she said, something that she did
              B
to make you leave her here alone?
         G#m                               A
Was it something that you said, something that you did
              B
to make her leave you here?
         B
Don't leave me here alone.


[Chorus]

E B                A             C#m         
  Lost in pacific time with the sound of a dial tone
E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
E      B                   A        C#m                   E
  When hearts hang on the line, and all that you fear has happened
E         B                   C#m            E            
  let the memories count the miles and never be forgotten.
