E             |D                |
I woke up in a Soho doorway, 

  A                |C  G  *        |
A policeman knew my name.   He said,

You can go sleep at home tonight 
If you can get up and walk away
I staggered back to the underground 
And the breeze blew back my hair

E                   |D                |
I remember throwin' punches around and 

|A                |C G   D/F#    A **|
 preachin' from my chair      Well, 

      | E   D/E|     A/E E    A/E E |
Who are you 
       (Who are you, who who, who who), 
I really want to know
                (Who are you, who who, who who) 
Tell me who are you
                (Who are you, who who, who who) 
'Cause I really wanna know 
                     (Who are you, who who, who who)

I took the tube back out of town, 
Back to the rollin' pin
I felt a little like a dying clown 
With a streak of rin tin tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped 
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the tin pan, god, 
There's got to be another way.

  [repeat over second chorus]

I know there's a place you walked 
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup, 
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole 
Yet still receive your kiss. 
How can I measure up to anyone now 
After such a love as this

[repeat chorus]
