CHORUS:
DmSo tell me the truth of your heart

Turn your Glight on
Turn your Flight on me
FI'll tell you a dream that I had
CI was down at the Gbaseball diamond
CAnd seeing you smiling beside
GWatching the Fmoon at the treetops
DmLaughing and backing away
Saw your Amdark eyes shine like the cGity skyline
CAnd then I just sat there alone
GUnable to wakFe up or walk home
REPEAT CHORUS ONCE.
Strum F a little, then end on C .

Also: There's a solo in the middle, between chorus and verse, but I haven't a clue 
how it goes, nor does gobbleykins.
