Intro: G-D6-Asus4-E - x2

Verse 1

-------

G D

I wander the lonely streets...

Asus4 E E7

Behind where the old Thames does flow.

G D

And in every face I meet...

A E E7

Reminds me of what I have run for.

Bridge

------

Am

In every man, in every hand,

Em

In every kiss you understand,

C

That living is for other men,

D

I hope you too understand...

Verse 2

-------

G D

I've got to tell you my tale...

Asus4 E E7

Of how I loved and how I failed...

G D

I hope you understand?

A E E7

These feelings should not be in the man.

Bridge

------

Am

In every child, in every eye,

Em

In every sky above my head...

C

I hope that I know,

D

So come with me in bed.

Chorus

------

Am

Because its you and me we're history

Em

There ain't nothing left to say

C D

When I...will get you alone...

Verse 3

-------

G D

Maybe we could find a room?

A E

Where we could see what we should do...

G D

Maybe you know its true?

A E E7

Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.

Bridge

------

Am

In every man, in every hand,

Em

In every kiss you understand,

C

That living is for other men,

D

I hope you know that I am me...

Chorus (Reprise)

Am Em

So come on, I'm thinking about history,

C

And I'm living for history,

D

And I think you know I'm bound for you,

Cause I am...

Bridge (Reprise)

----------------

Am Em

And one and one is two, but three is company

C

When you're thinking about the things you do,

D

And you're thinking about the things you do...

Verse 4

-------

G D

I wanna tell you my tale...

A E

How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...

G D

Do you understand?

A E

There's more in a smile that in a hand.

Bridge

------

Am

In every sky, in every kiss

Em

There's one thing that you've might have missed

C D

Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?

Chorus

Am

But you and me, and so am I

Em

Lets make it up

C

Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?

Don't dream away your life...

Cause it is mine...

It is mine...

Is that a crime?

Is that a crime?

This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,

Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...

Am Em

Oh, the bed ain't made,

C D

But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
