Chords with lyrics

Intro:
E MajorE

Verse 1:
     E MajorE
There's indifference on the wind, but a faint gust of hope
E MajorE
At a club nobody goes to, with a musty velvet rope
    A augmentedA
Guys in Motörhead jackets who knew him way back when
E MajorE
Haven't raised a drink in years but now meet up again
   D MajorD                A augmentedA
To remember how it was when they all thought they'd move away
  E MajorE                            A augmentedA
And ride in Lotus 7s through the London streets one day

Chorus 1:
BB         E MajorE    A augmentedA
Nobody ever gets away
BB            A augmentedA     BB    C majorC
Even the best of us come back some day
    D MajorD             E MajorE          A augmentedA
To the unmarked rooms, where the dry dust breeds
    E MajorE      A augmentedA       BB     E MajorE
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds

Verse 2:
     E MajorE
There's a rusted fog machine in a concrete storage space
E MajorE
Letter-number combinations with no meaning on its face
      A augmentedA
They won't make these anymore, it's a wooden coach-n-four
  E MajorE
No-one will even steal it if you leave it by the door
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
No sign to mark it's going, no tombstone for its grave
      E MajorE                         A augmentedA
There will be goodbyes by dozens, so practice being brave

Chorus 2:
BB           E MajorE    A augmentedA
No-one anticipates the rush
BB             A augmentedA    BB     C majorC
The breezy feeling of the faceless crush
    D MajorD            E MajorE         A augmentedA
At the end of things, where the salvage bleeds
    E MajorE      A augmentedA       BB     E+Eaug
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds

Bridge:
           E MajorE    BB    G# minorG#m      C# minorC#m
They don't throw him a parade, he just comes in on a train
  Am6Am6             E MajorE
One suitcase in his hand and an old army backpack
     A augmentedA
From the Second World War
      BB
From a Leipzig secondhand store
E MajorE   E+Eaug   E MajorE

Verse 3:
     E MajorE
Pick the keys up from the agent, everything's been taken care of
E MajorE
No big changes in the roadways since you've left that I'm aware of
     A augmentedA
A majorA few old buildings gone to dust and some new ones in the way
    E MajorE
They'll look just like the old ones when the winds have had their say
    D MajorD             A augmentedA
See the children bound for London; you'll all be back too
   E MajorE                           A augmentedA
Everybody tests the membrane but no-one pushes through

Chorus 3:
BB            E MajorE     A augmentedA
Come on boys that'll be enough
BB                   A augmentedA    BB     C majorC
You'd think your old friends wouldn't play so tough
    D MajorD             E MajorE            A augmentedA
Like a basket by the Nile, hiding down among the reeds
    E MajorE      A augmentedA       BB
