Intro:

      A                     Amaj7
I was traveling home on the subway
          A7               Dm
When this vision got on at Maida Vale
         A                 Em
And as I casually eyed the classifieds
    D                A
She sat down next to me
      A                          Amaj7
Every head in the carriage was wondering
    A7                       Dm
I replied with a smile on my face
         A                        Em
And as I slipped into the arms of Morpheus
   D                        A
To daydream the rest of the way

Verse 1:
         Em7        Em6
She was a smooth operator
          Em7             Em6
You could see it in her dress
           Em7             Em6
I said I'd like to see you later
      Em7            Em6
But I didn't want to press
      Em7           Em6
I was homing like a scanner
      Em7          Em6
Did a mental striptease
        Em7               Em6
But she knew that she was special
        Em7            Em7
And she came on like a tease

Chorus:
           Fmaj7
Don't want love

Don't want love
                 Dm C Am

Don't want love
                  Dm C Am

Verse 2:
         Em7         Em6
She was a headstrong woman
       Em7            Em6
With a demon in her blood
            Em7            Em6
Through the window in her eyes
      Em7          Em6
I saw fire in her soul
      Em7       Em6
And I knew if I pursued it
   Em7              Em6
My fingers would be burned
       Em7           Em6
Like a moth 'round a candle
      Em7         Em6
I was momentarily stunned

Chorus:

Don't want love

Verse 3:
    Bb                    or (Bb Bb6 Bb7 Bb6 Bb7 Bb6) x2
The carriage was spinning

We were up on the floor
        Gb                      or (Gbadd9 Gb Gbadd9 Gb Gbadd9 Gb) x2
She was whirling like a dervish

I was whirling like a fool
      Bbm                  or (Bbm Bbm6 Bbm7 Bbm6 Bbm7 Bbm6) x2
My re-actions were dimming

Like an alcoholic haze
        Gb                   or (Gbadd9 Gb Gbadd9 Gb Gbadd9 Gb)
I could hear people clapping
      F7                  or (Faug F Faug F Faug F F7 Faug F)
I was stumbling in a daze

I was stumbling in a daze

Verse 4:
   Am
My eyes tried to focus
      E/G#
I was suddenly aware
        C/G
She was newborn naked
       F#m7b5
I was altogether bare
           Fmaj7
There were shouts all around us
           C/E
There were clothes on the floor
     Dm7
As I tried to find my senses
      Em7                Am A
I was sliding down the door

Verse 5:
      Em7         Em6
Down a coal-black tunnel
      Em7        Em6
I was slipping away
       Em7            Em6
Then I felt the water hit me
      Em7            Em6
And I heard somebody say
       Em7            Em6
Better get yourself together
            Em7         Em6
This is the end of the line
       Em7            Em6
When I looked for my woman
         Em7              Em6
I'd been dreaming all the time
