Amber Waves
Tori Amos
[Verse 1]
Well he lit yBou up like AA/C#mber Waves in his mEovie show
He fixed you up real Bgood
'til I A/C#don't know you aEnymore
From Bballet class to a A/C#lap dance straight to vEideo
And the pool side Bnews
Was that A/C#he would be lEaunching you
[Pre-Chorus]
Into Bevery yA/C#oung man's Ebedroom (you gave it up)
On DVBD and mA/C#agazine (yoEu gave it up)
A priBvate riA/C#te of passaEge (you gave it up)
To evBery boyA/C#'s sweet drEeam With their paper cuts
[Chorus]
You Fsaid "he's got a healing macAmhine
It glows in the Fdark, glows in the Gdark"
You sFay "there's not a lot of meAm  
Left anyFmore, just leave it alEmone
But Dif you're by and you hCave the time
Tell the NAmorthern lGights to keep sDhining
AmLately it Gseems like they're dDrowning"
[Verse 2]
He could liBght you up
And sA/C#ummon every swan to the LEakeside
Off to Cabo San BLucas for some A/C#optical Estimulus
Then you Bstarted to guess there was A/C#someone else
Though His Eflint glass seeing all of Byou
A/C#Immersed in his sEepia
[Pre-Chorus]
Into Bevery yA/C#oung man's Ebedroom (you gave it up)
On DVBD and mA/C#agazine (yoEu gave it up)
A priBvate riA/C#te of passaEge (you gave it up)
To evBery boyA/C#'s sweet drEeam With their paper cuts
[Chorus]
YFou said "he's got a healing Ammachine
It glows in the Fdark, glows in the Gdark"
You sFay "there's not a lot of meAm  
Left anyFmore, just leave it alEmone
But Dif you're by and you hCave the time
Tell the NAmorthern lGights to keep sDhining
AmLately it Gseems like they're dDrowning"
[Outro]
So I Dwent by cause I Chad the time
And told the NAmorthern LGights to keep sDhining
They Amtold me to Gtell you they're Dwaving

Amber Waves

Tori Amos

[Verse 1]

B A/C# E

Well he lit you up like Amber Waves in his movie show

He fixed you up real good

A/C# E

'til I don't know you anymore

B A/C# E

From ballet class to a lap dance straight to video

And the pool side news

A/C# E

Was that he would be launching you

[Pre-Chorus]

B A/C# E

Into every young man's bedroom (you gave it up)

B A/C# E

On DVD and magazine (you gave it up)

B A/C# E

A private rite of passage (you gave it up)

B A/C# E

To every boy's sweet dream With their paper cuts

[Chorus]

F Am

You said "he's got a healing machine

F G

It glows in the dark, glows in the dark"

F Am

You say "there's not a lot of me

F Em

Left anymore, just leave it alone

D C

But if you're by and you have the time

Am G D

Tell the Northern lights to keep shining

Am G D

Lately it seems like they're drowning"

[Verse 2]

He could light you up

A/C# E

And summon every swan to the Lakeside

B A/C# E

Off to Cabo San Lucas for some optical stimulus

B A/C#

Then you started to guess there was someone else

E B

Though His flint glass seeing all of you

A/C# E

Immersed in his sepia

[Pre-Chorus]

B A/C# E

Into every young man's bedroom (you gave it up)

B A/C# E

On DVD and magazine (you gave it up)

B A/C# E

A private rite of passage (you gave it up)

B A/C# E

To every boy's sweet dream With their paper cuts

[Chorus]

F Am

You said "he's got a healing machine

F G

It glows in the dark, glows in the dark"

F Am

You say "there's not a lot of me

F Em

Left anymore, just leave it alone

D C

But if you're by and you have the time

Am G D

Tell the Northern lights to keep shining

Am G D

Lately it seems like they're drowning"

[Outro]

D C

So I went by cause I had the time

Am G D

And told the Northern Lights to keep shining

Am G D

They told me to tell you they're waving
