C5                                   G5
I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
A5         E5
Oh darling how I miss you
    F5                          C5
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
D5                    G5
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
     C5                          G5
With only the blue light of the TV on
A5                      E5
Lip reading threats and false alarms
              F5                       C5
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
      D5                     G5
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn

    F5             F#5            C5          E5
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
A5                     D5
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
     F5                    F5
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
    F#5       C5               D5                    A5
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands

C5                                G5
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
A5                       E5
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
        F5                          C5
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore
D5                G5
Now you're part of someone else

       C5                     G5                     A5
On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
        E5                F5
Now you manufacture happiness
             C5                               G5
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction

(chorus)

C5                        G5
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
A5                           E5
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
     F5                   C5                 D5                   G5
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all
before

C5                     G5
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
A5
You know I love you more than slightly
         C5          D5               G5
Although I've never said it like this before
