Version 1
            John Parr – St. Elmos Fire (Man In Motion)
[Verse 1]
A           C#m                D              A
Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall
A           C#m               D                 A
Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all
          F#m             D
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
                   F#m             D              E
You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed
Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won *
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done *
You know in some way you're a lot like me
You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free
[Chorus]
F#                      B              C#
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
F#                               B            C#
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
F#                   B                               C#
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
F#                               B          C#   -  D
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire
[Verse 2]
Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go)
Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
I can make it, I know I can
You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man
[Chorus]
F#                      B              C#
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
F#                               B            C#
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
F#                   B                               C#
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
F#                               B          C#   -  D
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire
(Play verse (not a 100% sure here) during “solo”)
A C#m D A A C#m D A F#m D E
A              D
Just once in his life a man has his time, and my time is now,
F#          E
I'm coming alive
[Chorus] x2
F#                      B              C#
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
F#                               B            C#
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
F#                   B                               C#
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
F#                               B          C#   -  D
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire
(On second time round)
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me
Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'
Oooh, burnin' inside of me...
