B                      
 I saw you in the crowd
E                         
 I saw you singing out loud
A    D
 The people were swaying
     A
The band was playing
A5 (etc...)
Something real loud

I couldn't hear one word
Screams were all that I heard
But I saw her face
I saw her eyes
I saw His grace
In the dark'ning skies

I saw you raise your hand
Stretching out to the band
You reach exceeding your grasp
On the beach from the whale
Comes one last gasp

A             D
Meet me in my hotel room
A              D
Meet me just for fun
A                 D
And I will not be boring
    A           D
Some things I been storing
 D                           A
Inside to show someone like you

   Note on solo:
	It sounds like a wah and/or talk box is used for the solo.

A few friends just stopped by
I think they wanted to get high
But it wasn't you
Who they led me to
So I bid them all good-bye
I probably would forget
This episode of regret
So I wrote this song
So when you sing alongI hope my message you will get
Meet me in my hotel room
Oh, meet me just for fun
And you will not be boring
Something you been storing
Inside to show someone like me
