Verse:
E
When the moon was just right
A                                    B
We could turn off the light and just listen
E
And we'd pray to the night
E
And we'd hold on so tight
A                                      B
You could hear crystal stars as they'd glisten

E
Lovers in vain 
E
Like to walk in the rain
A                           B
Like to hear distant trains emotion
E
And the late radio
E
We would play it so low
A                            B
No one must know this devotion

Chorus:
E         A    E       A
Rock ballad - Rock ballad
F#                      C#m         B    A
You know baby and I used to listen all night long
            E                             B
To the real slow song -Till the tears were gone

Verse:
E
And these jobs and these schools
E
Teach romance is for fools
A                               B
And the dream always ends upon waking
E
And we all kept our cool like a hustler shoot pool
A                                 B
And soon your whole life is spent faking

E
Cause to try is to fail
E
And as the wind left your sails
A                                     B 
All you heard was the sound of their laughter
E
But I was running so fast
E
With the wind racing past
A                        B
All I heard was a voice say "go after her"

Chorus:
E         A    E       A

F#                      C#m         B    A
You know baby and I used to listen all night long
            E                             B
To the real slow song -Till the tears were gone
gone

Verse
E
And these soul clarinets
E
And the feelings we get
A                         B
It's the songs of regret I remember
E
And we placed our last bet
E
On loves long shot request
A                             B
As they spun the roulette that September

E
Now let's all raise our glass
E
For a drink to the past
A                              B
And a drink to the last chance taken
E                         
And let's drink once again to our long lost friends
A                                    B
No, we can't let it end the surf's breaking

E         A    E       A
