(Intro) A E D E 

(Verse) 

A         E             D         E 
A city outside spins noisily at night 
A         E                 D              E                A 
The city inside my mind is silent after a wintery, nuclear night 
A         E              D      E 
But I am not alone for long 
A         E         D       E 
I am not alone for long 

Everything is lighting up 
Everyone is giving up 
But I can not give you up 
I can not give you up 



[Refrão]
Bm       D            A              E  
I am sleeping in a cardboard box outside your old place 
Bm       D            A              E             F#m 
I am hiding in your bedroom, I am seventeen years old 
E                     Dsus2 
And I have never seen anything as beautiful 

A E D E 

Anything as beautiful 


(Repeat Verse Pattern) 
The electricity is screaming through my room 
The lady's family is scowling at her misdirected groom 
But he is not here alone 
And she is not here alone 

That's the world and it's caving in 
It's a swirl and it smiles for you when you breathe it in 
But I can not breathe you in 
I can not breathe you in 

(Repeat "Chorus" Pattern) 

I am writing from a hotel room in Casablanca 
I am hiding in your bedroom, I am forty-eight years old 
And I have never seen anything as beautiful 
Anything as beautiful 

(Bridge) 

A           F#m            Bm           E             A 
This, this is not, this can not be happening, not to me 
A        F#m      Bm           E 
This is not happening, not to me 
A              F#m             Bm             E         A 
No this, this is not, this can not be happening, not to me 
A       F#m       Bm          E 
This is not happening, not to me 


End on  A
