Verse 1

E          C                G      D
When the slow parade went past
E          C               G          D
When it felt so good you knew it couldn't last
E          C               G          D
And all too soon the end was gonna come without a warning
E          C                G         D
And you'd have to just go home

Verse 2

E         C              G         D
And the way it all went by
E         C              G         D
And somebody said "come on its getting late"
E          C                    G                 D
And you thought the world might end if you just looked the other way
E          C                    G              D
And now you wish that you had stayed

Pre-Chorus

E              C               G                 D
And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
E              C                  G               D                    E
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

Chorus

   C
Oh no
         G                 D                    E
There's so much more that you need to work out
    C
Oh no
        G                  D                
You don't want that parade to leave you now

Verse 3

E         C              G         D
And the days are all the same
E        C                G        D
And the town so big and no one knows your name
E        C               G   
And the people fade away
          D
And all stars are just a flicker
E            C             G       D
And you're left there all alone

Pre-Chorus
E              C               G                 D
And there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around
E              C                  G               D                    E
And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out

Chorus

  C
Oh no
         G                 D                    E
There's so much more that you need to work out
    C
Oh no
        G                  D                
You don't want that parade to leave you now

E          C               G
When the music's over
          D                 C
But the song stays in your head

Chorus X2

  C
Oh no
         G                 D                    E
There's so much more that you need to work out
    C
Oh no
        G                  D                
You don't want that parade to leave you now
