C                                   G
I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
Am         E
Oh darling how I miss you
    F                          C
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
Dm7                    G
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
     C                          G
With only the blue light of the TV on
Am                      E
Lip reading threats and false alarms
              F                       C
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
      Dm7                     G
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn

    F             F#?            C          E
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
Am                     D
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
     Fm                    F
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
    F#?       C               Dm                    Am
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands

C                                G
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Am                       E
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
        F                          C
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore
Dm7                G
Now you're part of someone else

       C                     G                     Am
On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
        E                F
Now you manufacture happiness
             C                               G
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction

(chorus)

C                        G
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Am                           E
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
     F                   C                 Dm7                   G
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all
before

C                     G
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
Am
You know I love you more than slightly
         C          Dm7               G
Although I've never said it like this before
