(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
