1. On a night like this I deserve to get kissed
             G
    At least once or twice,
              C
    You come over to my place screaming blue murder,
           G
    Needing some place to hide.
           C
    Well, I wish you'd keep quiet, imaginations run riot
             G
    In these paper-thin walls,
                 C
    And when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names.
                 G
    I don't know who to call.

                Bm
    But I got a friend over there in the government block,
           C
    And he knows the situation and he's taking stock,
                D                                                            C
    I think I'll call him up now, put him on the spot, tonight.

    G           - C  - G
        Na na ?           Na na ?.

               C
2. They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off
         G
    About saving some fish,
              C
    Now could that be construed as some radical's views
            G
    Or some liberals' wish.
            Bm
    And it's so hot outside, and the air is so sweet,
                 C
    And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak,
                   D
    You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees,
              D7
    When it's too hot to breathe and it's too hot to think.

                           G                           C       D
Chorus:    There's always someone looking at you, oh oh oh oh oh. (3x)
            F                               C
           Tonight, they're looking at you tonight.

3. And I wish you'd stop whispering,
    C                         - G
    Don't flatter yourself,         nobody's listening.
            C                                  G
    But it makes me nervous, those things you say,
                    C
    You may as well shout it from the roof,
                                    G
    Scream it from your lungs, and spit it from you mouth,
             C
    It could fall on deaf ears to indulge in your fears.
              D
    There's a spy in the sky, there's a noise on the wire,
              D7
    There?s a tap on the line for every paranoid's desire.

                          [G                              C       D
Chorus:    There's always someone looking at you, oh oh oh oh oh. (2x)
                          - G                   - C - D        - C
           They're always        looking at you.           (7x)
