A1
V1: they're pacing picadilly in packs again
A2
and moaning for the mercy of a never come rain
A3
the sun's had enough and the shimmering sky
A2
has the heave and the hugh of the woman on fire
A5
shop shutters rattle down and i'm cutting the crowd
D5
all scented and descending from the satellite towns
A5
the neon is graffiti singing 'make a new start'
D5
so i look for a plot where i can bury my broken heart
A D A
C1: no, i know i won't forget you, but i'll forget myself
D
if the city will forgive me
A5
V2: the man on the door has a head like mars
D5
like a baby born to the doors of the bars
A5
and surrounded by steam with his folded arms
D5
he's got that urban genie thing going on
A5
he's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace
D5
saint peter in satin, he's like budah with mace
A5
he's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace
D5
saint peter in satin, he's like budah with mace
A D A
C2: no, i know i won't forget you, but i'll forget myself
D
if the city will forgive me
A D A
no, i know i won't forget you, but i'll forget myself
D
if the city will forgive me
A5 D5
MID: do you move through the room with a glass in your hand?
C5 D5
thinking too hard about the way you stand?
A5 D5
are you watching them pair off and drinking them long?
C5 D5
falling in love every second song
A5 D5
do you move through the room with a glass in your hand?
C5 D5
thinking too hard about the way you stand?
A5 D5
are you watching them pair off and drinking them long?
