Verse 1:
E                  A
  I waste away the days
E         C#m      A
  Waiting on a new age
E             A
  But time betrays me
          E     C#m      A
And I get older one more year
E                    A
Walk London's windy streets
  E             A
Go anywhere but home
         E
Cause I'm looking
        A
for the secrets
          E             A
That only cobble stones hold
         E             A
Only the cobble stones know


Chorus 1:
         E     F#m     C#m
And I've never been so sure
           E         F#m
That after all these years
     C#m   A
I'll never learn
     E     F#m
That heavenly
    C#m   A     E   F#m A
creatures never come


Verse 2:
            E
You've got a knife
F#m         A
   throwing kind

of love But
    E
your silence
F#m      A
cuts the deepest
     E          F#m
And I know I've made
  A
a mess of things
        E
And I'm sorry
F#m         A
for all that
              E
Wish we could get
    F#m  A
the time back


Chorus 2:
         E     F#m     C#m
And I've never been so sure
           E         F#m
That after all these years
     C#m   A
I'll never learn
     E     F#m
That heavenly
    C#m   A     E   F#/Bb A
creatures never come
         F#/Bb A
Wait for it
         F#/Bb A
Wait for it

Verse 3:
E          C#m           A
  Now I'm staring at the sun
      E
And if there's a
C#m               A
riddle I'm not in on
         E
Cause the wolves
C#m  A
howl to the Moon
    E         C#m     A
And she never answers back
        E     C#m    A   E - F#m - A-
No she never answers back


Chorus 3:
          E
And after all these
F#m        C#m        A
years I'll never learn
     E     F#m    C#m
That heavenly creatures
A     E     F#m         C#m
never never been so sure
           E
That after all these
F#m        C#m   A
years I'll never learn
     E     F#m    C#m
That heavenly creatures
A     E   C#m A     E C#m A
never come      ummm


Outro:
