Cold Parade by Stew ------------------- D C G I'm a man of alleyways and misty parks at night D Call me Simms D C You might've seen me strolling Central Park G D Or lurking south of the Thames Bm F#m I'm terribly familiar in a quite forgetful way G C A face you swear you've seen before G C But where you cannot say D Don't bother it's alright C G D Come and join me in tonight's cold parade D Though I'm a harmless fellow C G D I've been known to scare the hell out of a dame D On an empty sidestreet C G D Where the wind and she and I meet for a game Bm F#m She sees me and assumes i'm up to no good and it's true C G C G But the only no good I'm up to is not knowing what to do D With this thing called my life C G D So I'm sentenced to the night's cold parade D Well 'what sort of parade?' you ask C D G Well don't expect a float or a band D C G A broken majorette may bum a cigarette and offer D You her hand Bm F#m Yeah it's not exactly pretty this collection of the lost G C You've heard about the nitty gritty G C Well here's how much it cost D It's gonna be bumpy alright C G D Come and join me in tonight's cold parade D C Now i've got an odd relationship to life G D And on that life and I agree D I'm a charming party guest C G D But i also get bored so easily D C Now if i had me a dirty little vocation G D I'd feel more at home D C See i only walk these streets because G D My thoughts and I cannot be left alone Bm See the crossword puzzles and playoff games F#m and porno sites galore G C Cannot contain or ease the pain G C They don;'t work anymore Bm See by day i am a pillar F#m But by night i tend to sway G C What happens after work G C Well it's too gruesome Lord to say Bm See by day i am a pillar F#m But by night i tend to roar G C G C but nothing compares to the music of your knock upon my door D It's lonely here inside C G D Come and join me in tonight's cold parade D It's lonely here inside C G D Come and join me in tonight's cold parade
