TORCH (Soft Cell)
Album: Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing 

TABBED BY: Andy Tobita

Tuning: Standard 


D# 
I'm lost again and I'm on the run 
                          A#m 
Looking for love in a sad song  
D# 
With your avenger eyes And your cat like ways 
                                            A#m 
I can hold you: you are a fool for me to be cruel
D# 
I'm leaning on this bar listening to you sing 
						    A#m	
and your sad song rings in my ears and I start to cry 


CHORUS 
C#              D# 
He's searching, she's showing 
C# 						D#
See him held in a deep, deep spell: he knows she's glowing 
C# 				    D#
I can find within my mind a way to go 
C# 
I can look deep into your light and shout 
D#
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me 


(SAXOPHONE)

D# 
I hear the saxophone And it tears my soul 
                               A#m
And we're feeling old, feeling so cold 
D#
She is the torch and she is the fiend 
                                        D#m 
She could be a dream but oh boy, is she real 
D#
Try to avoid her eyes to avoid her words 
                                A#m
They will hit you with all that you feel 


REPEAT CHORUS I


CHORUS II
C#                    B
See her eyes they are bright tonight 
C#                    B 
See the stars coming out tonight 
C#                    B 
see the moon looking down tonight 
C#                    B 
See how they light your way tonight 
C#                    B 
See my eyes they are bright tonight 
C#                    B 
See my hands reaching out tonight 
C#                    B 
Hear my words they are dynamite 
C#                    B       G#   
See how they light your way tonight 


(D#	A#m)


(C#	D#)
When I first met you
You looked like Billie Holliday
Had that nude backless dress
the one with the sequins and the single white gardenia
I was probably drunk and had no make-up on
Oh, but you had such style
Really?
Nice words you sang
It was probably my life's story
It was mine too
I remember I drank too much and made a fool of myself
You looked OK to me
But when you get like me you know you're in trouble
I wanted to grab you and kiss you
But I thought you'd hit me
Too right, baby
But those words just kept


F   F# F  D#
Calling...


(D#	A#m)

D#
You're lost again and you're on the run
                          A#m
Looking for love in a sad song
D#m
With my avenger eyes and my cat like ways
                                     A#m
I can hold you: you're a fool for me to be cruel
