John Parr — St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)

[Intro]:G C D G

[Verse 1]:  G          Bm                 C             G    Bm   C
Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall
 G           Bm                C               G    Bm   C
Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all
           Em              C
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
                   Em                C         D
You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed

[Verse 2]:  G             Bm                 C               G    Bm   C
Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won
 G          Bm            C               G    Bm   C
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
             Em                C
You know in some way you're a lot like me
                Em                  C               D
You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free

[Chorus]:E                       A                 B    
I can see a new horizon, underneath the blazin' sky
E                                 A          B
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
E                           A                   B
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
E                               A            B
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
C           D        G 
Ooh ooh ooh ooo-ooh

[Verse 3]: G           Bm                  C              G            Bm    C
Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go (Just how far I go)
 G            Bm           C                  G     Bm   C
Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
       Em          C
I can make it, I know, I can
               Em                C               D
You broke the boy in me but you won't break the man

[Chorus]:E                       A                 B    
I can see a new horizon, underneath the blazin' sky
E                                 A          B
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
E                           A                   B
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
E                               A            B
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
E                                A           B
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
E                           A          B   C          D
I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me

[Intrumental]:G C D
G C D

[Bridge]:G                        C               D
   Just once in his life, a man has his time
G                     C                 D
   And my time is now, and I'm coming alive

[Chorus]:E                            A               B
I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly
E                           A                 B
Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high
E                           A                   B
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
E                               A            B
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
E                       A                 B    
I can see a new horizon, underneath the blazin' sky
E                                 A          B
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
E                           A                   B
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels
E                               A            B
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
E                                A           B
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
E                           A          B
I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me

[Outro]:E         A  B          E  A              B     
   Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'
E    A    B                 E    A    B
   Oooh, burnin' inside of me
