E|-2------------------ 						       Riff->
Friday night, I'm going nowhere, All the lights are changing green to red,
Riff->						  Riff->
Turning over TV stations, Situations running through my head,
   Riff->								        Riff->
looking back through time, You know it's clear that I've been blind, I've been a fool
    Riff->						  Riff->    Em   rest
To open up my heart, To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule.


Verse 2

Riff->						     Riff->
Saturday I'm running wild, And all the lights are changing red to green,
Riff-> 							        Riff->
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing, Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream,
     Riff->                                    		         Riff->
Only wish that you were here, You know I'm seeing it so clear, I've been afraid
   Riff->                                         	   Riff->
To tell you how I really feel, Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made,


Chorus

D               A               Em           F#m7
If you want it, Come and get it, Crying out loud
D                  A               Em         G
The love that I was Giving you was Never in doubt,
D               A             Em               A
Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now,
D               A             Em               A        A7
Let go your heart Let go your head And feel it now,
  Riff->  Riff->   Riff->
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon,

Verse 3

Riff->						 Riff->
Sunday all the lights of London Shining, Sky is fading red to blue,
    Riff->							     Riff->
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves And wondering where it is you might be going to
Riff->						        Riff->
Turning back for home, You know I'm feeling so alone I can't believe
Riff->							  Riff->
Climbing on the stair I turn around to see you smiling there In front of me,

Repeat Chorus
  Riff->  Riff->   Riff->
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon,
