[Verse]
F C F C
The only light in the basement apartment, a blue TV glow through the blinds
G Am F C G
The flicker and din in the dark of a Saturday night
F C F C
A raven's asleep in the rafters, a stray cat circles a kill
G Am F C G
From the basement, the tin-can laughter of a late night thrill
[Chorus]
F C F Am F
Tomorrow's asleep on the front step, and yesterday dreams in the street
C F Am
But in the basement apartment, a shadowy man, he just stares at the wall
G
He can't sleep
F G F G
And me I'm just part of the darkness, just trying to get something right
F C F
On a Saturday night
C G
On a Saturday night
[Verse]
F C F C
And this all reminds me of something, the song of a long ago time
G Am F C G
A memory pure and haunting on a Saturday night
F C F C
And I don't have all of the answers, I don't have even a few
G Am F C G
But two shadows above me were dancing and I thought of you
[Chorus]
F C F Am F
Tomorrow's asleep on the front step, and yesterday dreams in the street
C F Am
But in the basement apartment, a shadowy man, he just stares at the wall
G
He can't sleep
F G F G
And me I'm just part of the darkness, just trying to get something right
F C F
On a Saturday night
C G
On a Saturday night
[Solo]
Am G F C G F C Am G
[Outro]
F C F C
The only light in the basement apartment, the flicker and fade of time
G Am F C
The heavy and hopeful heart of a Saturday night
F C F C
Of a Saturday night
