Capo 2
Em G Cadd9
I never learnt my lesson
Em G Cadd9
I mumbled down the street
Em G Cadd9
I make a faint impression
Em G Cadd9
Cos I am incomplete
D
I try to be there
C
In the open
D C
I try to make you proud
[Refrão]
G D Em C
And I will walk through shadows of tall buildings
Em D G
Until I slowly di--sappear
Em G Cadd9
Make myself up for tourists
Em G Cadd9
And join the living dead
Em G Cadd9
There's no more room for purist
Em G Cadd9
My blues will turn to red
D
I try to be there
C
In the open
D C
I try to make you proud
[Refrão]

And I will walk through shadows of tall buildings
Em D G
Until I slowly di---sappear
G
Yeah, I
(The colours on the side walk)
D
will walk
(And it's a mood who won't talk)
Em
through shadows
(Trying to uncover)
C
of tall buildings
(The stillness of my lover)
Em
Until there’s nothing
(And in a skyward reaches)
D
more
(I know there's nothing more)
Em G Cadd9
to fear

I never learnt my lesson
Em G Cadd9 (one strum)
I mumbled down the street
[Refrão]
