Intro:  G5 - D5 - A5 - E5  - x2


Verse 1
-------
G5                D5
I wander the lonely streets...
A5                 E5                    E5
Behind where the old Thames does flow.
G5                D5
And in every face I meet...
A5                    E5      E5
Reminds me of what I have run for.


Bridge
------
A5
In every man, in every hand,
E5
In every kiss you understand,
C1
That living is for other men,
D5
I hope you too understand...


Verse 2
-------
G5                       D5
I've got to tell you my tale...
A5                      E5    E5
Of how I loved and how I failed...
G5                D5
I hope you understand?
A5                            E5       E5
These feelings should not be in the man.


Bridge
------
A5
In every child, in every eye,
E5
In every sky above my head...
C1
I hope that I know,
D5
So come with me in bed.


Chorus
------
            A5
Because its you and me we're history
E5
There ain't nothing left to say
    C1                  D5
When I...will get you alone...


Verse 3
-------
G5                     D5
Maybe we could find a room?
      A5              E5
Where we could see what we should do...
G5                  D5
Maybe you know its true?
A5                            E5         E5
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.


Bridge
------
A5
In every man, in every hand,
E5
In every kiss you understand,
C1
That living is for other men,
D5
I hope you know that I am me...


Chorus (Reprise)
----------------
A5                        E5
So come on, I'm thinking about history,
            C1
And I'm living for history,
                    D5
And I think you know I'm bound for you,

Cause I am...


Bridge (Reprise)
----------------
A5                               E5
And one and one is two, but three is company
                        C1
When you're thinking about the things you do,
                         D5
And you're thinking about the things you do...


Verse 4
-------
G5                   D5
I wanna tell you my tale...
      A5                       E5
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...
G5           D5
Do you understand?
        A5                    E5
There's more in a smile that in a hand.


Bridge
------
A5
In every sky, in every kiss
        E5
There's one thing that you've might have missed
  C1                       D5
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?

Chorus
------
A5
But you and me, and so am I
     E5
Lets make it up
     C1
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?
      D5
Don't dream away your life...


Middle 8
--------
                                    A5
                  Cause it is mine...
                                    E5
                        It is mine...
          C1
Is that a crime?
          D5
Is that a crime?
             A5                 E5
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,
               C1                     D5
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
A5              E5
Oh, the bed ain't made,
                      C1                       D5
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
