E                                F#m 
All the pines that shiver in the park 
                          G#m 
Kick my fever through the dark 
                             F#m 
Through the railings and the iron 
                        E 
Empty bars and tenement lines 
                          F#m 
Something slips back into place 
                       G#m 
For a second there's a trace 
                      A 
Of my face inside the trees 
                B 
Sudden light in everything 

Break: 
| B     | F#m   | A     | E     | x2 

I get up and head down into work 
Running errands like a jerk 
But the fever does me in 
Never touching anything 
Like the sea inside a shell 
Everything speaks to itself 
Darkness comes at half-past three 
My own face is in the trees 

Break: 
| B     | F#m   | A     | E     | x2 
| E     | 
| D     | A     | E     |       | x2 

Middle 8 (x2): 
    D                A 
For six years I have seen a friend 
E 
In summer crowds in Europe 
         D               A   E 
When the evening falls 

So I left myself back in the night 
Moving into clearer light 
Neither here nor really gone 
Both surrounded and alone 
Like the sea inside a shell 
Everything speaks to itself 
Darkness comes at half-past three 
My own face is in the trees 

Outro: 
| B     | F#m   | A     | E     | x2 

Dah da da da da da da da da... 
| E     | F#m   | G#m   | F#m   | to fade
