Verse 1:

Em
The streets are covered in chalk,

D
the shops all boarded up,

Em                                        D
the bodies are carried back down from the square.

Em
He begins to wonder,

D
if it always was this hot,

Em                                    D
or is it just the clothes that he now wears?
C


Chorus:

Em       C         G           C               D
Napoleon sheds his skin in the summer when the sun is high.

Em       C            G             C
He never knew when to quit, when to stop,

Em
or when to say die


Verse 2:

Em
Pick the bones, get a tan,

D
or wander underground.

Em                          D
She would not have left him anyway.

Em
Wait by the sea, wait in the sun,

D
as if the time stood still.

Em                                            D
And he'd get involved in whichever side could pay.
C

C                                           Em
And time stands still behind the distant gates.

C                             Em
Time moves on outside in the sun.

C                                      Em
Then he wonders which side he's really on.

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

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

Chorus 2:

Em            C          G            C              D
She waits for him by the wharf by the sea where they used to go.

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