The chords I wrote here are for the acoustic version of 
Goodnight of the album Home, 
Though you can also play them along with the original.


      Am               F
 The cafe's are all deserted
        C         G       F
 The streets are wet again
          Am         
 There's nothing quite like
    F              C                   G          
 An out of season holiday town in the rain
           Am
 When the tourists go
          F
 And the cold winds blow
         C      G         F
 And my girl is on a plane
     Dm
 Home

      Am                F
 I'm never gonna love another
      C                F
 The way I have loved you
       Am                F
 It's taken me a little time to discover it
C                  G
 Now I know it's true
      F         G
 But fatal hesitation
          C     G   F
 Made me miss the show

Am   C     Dm        Em                F G
 Ooooooh, Romeo is standing in the rain
     C   Dm                  Em        F G
 And I know that I have let her slip away
  Am    G   F    C F Am    G   F     C G
 Fatal hesitation,  fatal hesitation

    Am                 F
 I saw you again this morning
  C       G            F
 Walking down the beach
       Am                       F
 And though you are a thousand miles away
          C                  G
 You were only just out of reach
         F                  G
 When I got up close and I saw her face
     C       G          F
 I knew it couldn't be so
 
  Am      C     Dm        Em                F G
 No, nooooooo, Romeo is standing in the rain
     C  Dm                  Em            F G
 And I wish I know, I have let her slip away
  Am    G   F    C F Am    G   F     Ab
 Fatal hesitation,  fatal hesitation oh
                   Bb                C
 I'm gonna get on my boat and sail away

Am G F C F
Am G F C G
F  C F Dm

Am   C     Dm        Em                F G
 Ooooooh, Romeo is standing in the rain
     C   Dm                  Em        F G
 And I know that I have let her slip away
  C         Dm   Em F G C         Dm   Em F G
 Fatal hesitation,     fatal hesitation

C Dm Em F G
C Dm Em

F           G              C
 I'm gonna read a little Shakespeare
Dm                     Em
 And get her outta my head
     F       G         C   Dm Em
 It doesn't matter anymore
F       G               C
 Gonna miss her just a little bit
Dm       Em        F G C Dm Em F G C
 Just a little bit
