Intro : Am G F Em
 
Am G
he's in the mood to touch the fire
F Em
he's in the mood to touch everything you are
Am G F Em
he's in the mood to touch the fire, touch the fire, touch the fire
Am G
jacky's locked in a silent dream
F Em
he's watching movies on the tv screen
Am G
he feels unsteady, lights a cigarette
F Em
he's getting mellow in his cabinet
[Refrão] Am G
oh, jacky, when everything goes wrong
F Em
get ready, for you've got to be so strong
Am G
it's so supersensual, sentimental
F
forget about your deepest fears
Em
switch back to the golden years
SOLO : Am G F Em
Am G
you've got to touch the fire, wake up little boy
F Em
you've got to play the fire (Wake up)
jacky's spying, is it her or not
his eyes are burning cause the brain's too hot
he sitting calmly on his swivel chair
there's something coming from the upper stairs
Repeat Chorus
(Outtro w/Am G F Em, and the words below)
now listen to me, jacky
you were always so lonesome in that quiet lonely house
high on a hill
now come... come and meet me
you know where
and we take a nice and easy holiday
back in the old, old days of happiness
oh jacky....
switch back to the golden years
