Intro

G G(F#)


G G(F#) G G(F#)
This is London, the place where you're a god or a disgrace

G G(F#) G G(F#)
The whole wide world at your feet to see the look upon your face

C G C G
And you watch the BBC and you think, "Well, what if that was me?"

C G C C
Such a promising life to waste.



G G(F#) G G(F#)
You told me, "Just be brave. Remember all the gifts you gave.

G G(F#)
And how you felt like you were saved,

G G(F#)
Like you were singing from beyond the grave."

C G C G
And you said you'd wait for me until the day I could sing on key

C G C
"There's just something about your face."



C G D C
Then you'd call, I could feel your body fall down next to me,

G D C G C G
And I wanted us to be fast asleep, closer than anything to me,

C G C C
Like we were home again...



G G(F#) G G(F#)
There was just no way to know what was real and what was show

G G(F#) G G(F#)
A future unfolding before my eyes, and a past that I could not let go

C G
And how the feeling is so deep

C G
when you're running down the London streets

C G C C
Like there's nowhere left to go.



G G(F#) G G(F#)
Among the faceless dizzy whores, the unimaginable bores,

G G(F#) G G(F#)
Evenings stumbling from the pub, mornings shivering on the floor

C G C G
Then the careless way you say, "Yeah, we were just glad we got to play."

C G C
When you're empty to the core.



C G D C
Then you'd call, I could feel your body fall down next to me,

G D C G C G
And I wanted us to be fast asleep, closer than anything to me,

C G C C
Like we were home again.

G
I'm so tired of the rain.


G G(F#) G G(F#)
This is London, the place where you get lost without a trace

G G(F#) G G(F#)
Among the beautiful remains of this shattered human race

C G C G
All the words that go unsaid, all the sacrifices of the dead,

C G C G
"We'll fall quietly into the past or we'll just burn the streets instead"

C G C G
In the clamoring of the crowd, you think, "I'll just stay quiet, instead."



C G D C
All the fallen dizzy angels crawling through the street,

G D C
The pleas of people weary on their feet,

G C G
And you're half a world away from me,

C G C
As the clouds drown the light.


G
I wonder where you are tonight.
