Somehow we drifted off too far

Communicate like distant stars

Splintered voices down the 'phone
Am G
The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no
Am G
Someone waits behind the door
F
Hiroshima mon amour
G F
Riding inter-city trains
G
Dressed in European grey
F
Riding out to echo beach
Am G
A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no
Am G
How can I ever let them go?

Hiroshima mon amour
G F
Meet beneath the autumn lake
G
Where only echoes penetrate

Walk through polaroids of the past

Future's fused like shattered glass, the sun's so low
Am G
Turns our silhouettes to gold

Hiroshima mon amour
