G
I was lying on the side of the road
       B                C
Not so different from a pile of trash
               F#m
Irritated as a heat rash
G                                 B      C
Plucking hairs out of my mustache one by one
                                 F#m
Thought my upper lip needed some sun
          G
And I was looking for the secret code
B         C
Wandering around American roads
F#m             G
Oh, it was an inspiration payload
B           C             F#m
Pretty good grease for frying

[Chorus]
G B C
Memories
         F#m     G           B  C
Strike a bolt of lightning into me
F#m          G         B C
Surfing on a sea of ecstasy
F#m             G              B  C   A
Wonder how this all could come to be, yeah

N.C.
Breathe

[Verse]
G
Do it again, do it again
B      C                        F#m
Take a deep breath and hold it, hold it in
G                        B          C
Wait around all night to strike the match

F#m         G
But all the fumes have wandered home
B        C
So what should've been an inferno
F#m       G
Is just a faint nostalgic glow
B           C             F#m
Pretty good grease for frying

[Chorus]
G B C
Memories
         F#m     G           B  C
Strike a bolt of lightning into me
F#m          G         B C
Surfing on a sea of ecstasy
F#m             G              B  C   A
Wonder how this all could come to be, yeah

[Solo]

[Bridge]
        G
I had a dream love
    B          C
And light were winning
  F#m     G
I woke up laughing
  B       C
I woke up singing
And now these

[Chorus]
N.C.
Memories
Strike a bolt of lightning into me
             G         B C
Surfing on a sea of ecstasy
F#m             G              B  C   A
Wonder how this all could come to be, yeah

[Outro]
G B C F#m
