2ND VERSE:    (played same as 1st Verse)

I see no harm or danger in escaping
If the method suits the style
We put the mind on idle
And let the others take it for awhile
When the pace is too fast, and I think I won't last
You know where I'll be found
I'll be standing here beside myself
Getting ready for the final round


Play CHORUS 1x, then this variation:

3RD VERSE:    
(played same as 1st Verse, but add these chords to 1st 4 lines)

     Eb
The time we feel most stable
        F
Is the time we're coming off the wall
Eb
And there's every indication
           F
We may be heading for a fall
So let the problems start, and let the tension grow
We'll be keeping it to ourselves
And while they're busy reaching their conclusions
We'll be reaching for something else


CHORUS:   (played same as 1st Chorus)

No one can stop us now
Tonight we're on the loose
No one to tell us how
Tonight we're on the loose

(fade)

^...bend                                /...slide up
=...hold note                           x...muted note
