G                               F#7
Honey, I've been thinkin' 'bout you
             B7
All that you do
                       C7
Don't you think of me too?
G                               F#7
Lady, where you've been for so long?
                     B7
I don't mean you no wrong
                       C7
Had to write you this song

[Chorus]
        G    G#dim  Am7           F7
Well I long to be alone with you
       G                     G#dim          Am7         F7
And if I couldn't have you I don't know what I would do
                  G
I guess I would leave (I would leave)
             D

Well I dream of you so much
             B7
Love you so much but
                      C7
But thoughts aren't enough
         G           F#7
Well I speak only of you
                 B7
So what else is new?

What am I to do?

Cause without you I'm just bones (Bones)

B7                      C7
Days go more and more I see
           G      D/F#          E7
That your love is all my soul needs
                             Am7
But you're gone and now I'm fallin'
               D7
Fallin' to my knees

Well I long to be alone with you
       G                     G#dim          Am7         F7
And if I couldn't have you I don't know what I would do        2x

I guess I would leave (I would leave)
             D
This world alone (This world alone)

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

There's a portrait

In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on

The muscle, skin and bone

Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

So how about it

Show me please

How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please

Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking

What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge

Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.

E o tempo tic taca devagar
         Dm                   Am
Ponha o teu melhor vestido, brilha teu sorriso

we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

Tienes que bailarlo natural

Puedes ir bailándolo hacia fuera
F#m
Entra en el abismo musical

En un mundo demencial

Los que bailan se contentan

Llegas en la noche sideral

Traes en tu cuerpo la marea

Siento que comienzo a respirar

Ese ritmo que me das

Movimiento que se queda

Deja tus sentidos encontrar

Otro paso irregular, para entrar en otra esfera

B 				  C#m
Por eso baila solo, baila siempre libre

No dejes que nada en la vida te	detenga
