G Bb Am G New Amsterdam, it's become much too much, G Bb Am G Will I have the possession of everything she touches, G Bb Am G Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches? G Bb Am G Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess? G Em C G Down on the mainspring, listen to the tick tock, G Em F D Clock all the faces that move in on your block, G Em C G Twice shy and dog tired because you've been bitten, G Em F D Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost written. G Bb Am G New Amsterdam, it's become much too much, G Bb Am G Will I have the possession of everything she touches, G Bb Am G Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches? G Bb Am G Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess? E E A E Like, in London, they'll take you to heart after a little while, E E C D C G D Though I look right at home, I still feel like an exile. G Em C G Somehow I found myself down at the dockside, G Em F D Thinking about the old days of Liverpool and Rotherhithe, G Em C G Transparent people who live on the other side, G Em F D Living a life that is almost like suicide, G Bb Am G New Amsterdam, it's become much too much, G Bb Am G Will I have the possession of everything she touches, G Bb Am G Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches? G Bb Am G Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?
