    Bm F#
    On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
    A E
    Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
    G D
    Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
    Em
    My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
    F#
    I had to stop for the night

    Bm F#
    There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
    A E
    And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
    G D
    Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
    Em F#
    There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say

    (1)Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
    (2)What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) bring your alibis


    Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
    She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
    How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
    Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

    So I called up the captain; "Please bring me my wine."
    "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
    And still those voices are calling from far away
    Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say

    CHORUS (with ending 2)

    Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
    And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
    And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
    They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast

    Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
    I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
    "Relax" said the nightman, "We are programmed to receive"
    "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"

    look at the part where in the intro he plays very fast.. the "****REPEAT****" is above the wrong tab.. thats not to be repeated.. now y this happens ? the formattin in this site is done in such a way that comments get left justified.. u need to leave spaces before those when u type or copy n paste.. BTW u "copy pasted" it from FRETPLAY.COM besides most sites have the same thing.. n claim it to be urs !!! so desperate for points kya ???
