Am
Here in the streets so mechanised
G
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Am
Studied all the rules and I want no part
G
But I let you in just to break this heart
Am
Even though it was only one night it was
G
........Fucking strange


Am
Nina's in the bedroom, 
G
She said time to go now
       D
But leavin', it ain't easy
      E
I've got to let go, Oh I've got to let go
          G
And the hours they ran slow
I said every night she just can't stop sayin'
