Verse 1:

E minorEm
The streets are covered in chalk,

D MajorD
the shops all boarded up,

E minorEm                    D MajorD
the bodies are carried back down from the square.

E minorEm
He begins to wonder,

D MajorD
if it always was this hot,

E minorEm                  D MajorD
or is it just the clothes that he now wears?
C majorC

He never knew when to quit, when to stop,

E minorEm
or when to say die


Verse 2:

E minorEm
Pick the bones, get a tan,

D MajorD
or wander underground.

E minorEm             D MajorD
She would not have left him anyway.

E minorEm
Wait by the sea, wait in the sun,

D MajorD
as if the time stood still.

E minorEm                      D MajorD
And he'd get involved in whichever side could pay.
C majorC

C majorC                      E minorEm
And time stands still behind the distant gates.

C majorC               E minorEm
Time moves on outside in the sun.

C majorC                   E minorEm
Then he wonders which side he's really on.

     C majorC
Then he doesn't care it's so gray in there,

D MajorD
he just wants to get back to her...

She waits for him by the wharf by the sea where they used to go.

She sings a song that they'd sing then waits for the echo...
