terraces that climb like vines towards the moon the five a sides
the evening inter-city lights I see your face each time I close my eyes
B7sus4 E B7
Jude I told you yesterday that I know nothing all my friends are loaded & they smile
B7sus4 E B7
picking up the pieces from a bleary night away exhaust fumes, magnolias & light
E B7sus4
Helen in the art-class light yes I guess that if I stay, I'll stay all night
E B7sus4
And I know that you're not afraid but every time I close my eyes I see your face
B7sus4 E B7
Walking down to Springfield Park uneasy in the haze uneasy in the sunlight & the quiet
B7sus4 E B7
Living life without love in your mother's waiting room minute here by minute it's like dying
E B7sus4
Terraces that climb like vines towards a moon that hangs above another night
E B7sus4
Streets so filled with echoing you're so tired that you believe in everything

So that summer came & went & I became cold yeah I became cold yeah I became cold

So that summer came & went & I became cold yeah I became cold yeah I became cold
