Verse 1
G G 
 
Misty,
C C 
 
when you want to hit those wedding bells,
Em Em 
 
you should stop yourself. You
G G 
 
C C 
 
should see yourself angry.
G G 
 
Screaming to the ceiling,
C C 
 
girl, you look like hell.
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
But when riding pills we get heavenly,
G G 
 
on a balcony.

Verse 2
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
And  baby's not a wreck
C C 
 
on the wayside yet,
Em Em 
 
although she stuck out her neck
G G 
 
C C 
 
to see how dark she could take it.
G G 
 
C C 
 
The wind is wild. Why, the spray is wet!
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
And a heart gets high as a heart can get, on a balcony,
G G 
 
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
high
G G 
 
above the sea.
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
C C 
 

Verse 3
G G 
 
C C 
 
You are the woman, on some Firefall.
Em Em 
 
Do you wan na ball
G G 
 
on that brilliant beach?
C C 
 
G G 
 
So hard I thought I hear
C C 
 
my future daughter call
Am Am 
 
through the static wall
C C 
 
of a flashing dream.
Am Am 
 
F F 
 
And it's a wild, weaving ride to the sea.
G G 
 
C C 
 
Little demon, believe it from me.
Am Am 
 
They say that you're living off
something-and-soda,
F F 
 
some some some fine wine from 1983. They say you're

a fantasy.

Verse 4
G G 
 
Clap, like a comma. Hear
C C 
 
the sentence sing.
Em Em 
 
Hear the whole world ring. Hey,
G G 
 
C C 
 
it's bursting with bravery.
G G 
 
C C 
 
And, Misty, when it's whittled down to just one
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
thing it amazes me, that simplicity.
G G 
 
I wandered through the supermarket
C C 
 
like a slumming king.
Em Em 
 
And the sun,
G G 
 
it stings. Hell, I hadn't seen the sun for weeks.
When we finally walk away from
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
everything on our own four feet,
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
I hear you call my name
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
from a
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
balcony.
