[Verse 1]
         A
It was a blue letter
    B
She wrote to me
     E                A
It's silver words she told
        A               F#m
Wanna be on the road to paradise
         E                   A
I want a lover who don't get old

[Chorus]
            F#m     E       A
Do I read a message in your eyes
                 F#m   E      A
You want love to stay another night
                    F#m      E
Hey, hey, when your day goes down
  D     D                    | A | % | % | % |
I won't be waitin' around for you

[Verse 2]
    A               B
For every voice you ever heard
          E                  A
There's a thousand without a word
        A              F#m
Redbird, don't say you told me so
             E                A
Just give me one more song to go

[Chorus]
            F#m     E       A
Do I read a message in your eyes
                 F#m   E      A
You want love to stay another night
                    F#m      E
Hey, hey, when your day goes down
