Intro:  G - D6 - A4 - E  - x2


Verse 1
-------
G                D
I wander the lonely streets...
A4                 E                    E7
Behind where the old Thames does flow.
G                D
And in every face I meet...
A                    E      E7
Reminds me of what I have run for.


Bridge
------
Am7
In every man, in every hand,
Em
In every kiss you understand,
C1
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you too understand...


Verse 2
-------
G                       D
I've got to tell you my tale...
A4                      E    E7
Of how I loved and how I failed...
G                D
I hope you understand?
A                            E       E7
These feelings should not be in the man.


Bridge
------
Am7
In every child, in every eye,
Em
In every sky above my head...
C1
I hope that I know,
D
So come with me in bed.


Chorus
------
            Am
Because its you and me we're history
Em
There ain't nothing left to say
    C1                  D
When I...will get you alone...


Verse 3
-------
G                     D
Maybe we could find a room?
      A4              E
Where we could see what we should do...
G                  D
Maybe you know its true?
A                            E         E7
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.


Bridge
------
Am7
In every man, in every hand,
Em
In every kiss you understand,
C1
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you know that I am me...


Chorus (Reprise)
----------------
Am7                        Em
So come on, I'm thinking about history,
            C1
And I'm living for history,
                    D
And I think you know I'm bound for you,

Cause I am...


Bridge (Reprise)
----------------
Am7                               Em
And one and one is two, but three is company
                        C1
When you're thinking about the things you do,
                         D
And you're thinking about the things you do...


Verse 4
-------
G                   D
I wanna tell you my tale...
      A4                       E
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...
G           D
Do you understand?
        A                    E
There's more in a smile that in a hand.


Bridge
------
Am7
In every sky, in every kiss
        Em
There's one thing that you've might have missed
  C1                       D
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?

Chorus
------
Am7
But you and me, and so am I
     Em
Lets make it up
     C1
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?
      D
Don't dream away your life...


Middle 8
--------
                                    Am7
                  Cause it is mine...
                                    Em
                        It is mine...
          C1
Is that a crime?
          D
Is that a crime?
             Am7                 Em
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,
               C1                     D
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
Am7              Em
Oh, the bed ain't made,
                      C1                       D
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
