Intro: Bb

       F        C
Oh the turbines pound
                   Bb
Your plane touches down
            C            Bb
The captain catches your eye
            F    C
And all the city crows
                 Bb
Perched high and low
               C        Bb
On wires watch you walk by
        F        C
Oh your hair has changed
              Bb
Your room's rearranged
               C        Bb
Someone's been sleeping inside
        F        C
And the curtains closed
            Bb
On all your windows
                 C             Bb
To block out the fried chicken sign

     F  C          Bb
Roll on Arte, roll on
                     C             Bb
Oh your heart is too good for this town
     F    C                Bb
Your eyes cast through the glass
               C         Bb
At my so sorry manniquin frown

    F      C
The porter sings
      Bb
As he begins
                C               Bb
To clean up the mess that we've made
        F         C
And the christmas trees
                Bb
Are cast on the street
                   C            Bb
And garbage trucks block Hooper lane
        F          C
Well my head is in pain
            Bb
But I can't complain
                    C              Bb
Cause my sweetheart waits down the line
    F      C
And I will be
                  Bb
In a house by the sea
           C          Bb
Or even if just in my mind

     F   C         Bb
Roll on Arte, roll on
                     C             Bb
Oh your heart is too good for this town
     F    C                Bb
Your eyes cast through the glass
            C        Bb
At my sorry American frown

      F          C
Oh my mouth aint fed
                    Bb
My lips aint cherry red
                  C           Bb
And my grin might show my bad teeth
            F        C
And all the people I pass
          Bb
Give me a glance
               C           Bb
As if I'm some lower class freak
       F       C
But to you I'm fine
                Bb
And I'm in your mind
        C       Bb
Even if I'm not around
      F         C
In my arms I am strong
                    Bb
And thats where you belong
            C               Bb
Give em the love that we've found

     F  C          Bb
Roll on Arte, roll on
                     C             Bb
Oh your heart is too good for this town
   F    C                Bb
My eyes cast through the glass
                 C       Bb
At your so sorry Marylyn frown
                 C       F
At your so sorry Marylyn frown
