A5
Here in the streets so mechanised
G5
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
A5
Studied all the rules and I want no part
G5
But I let you in just to break this heart
A5
Even though it was only one night it was
G5
........Fucking strange


A5
Nina's in the bedroom , 
G5
She said time to go now
       D5
But leavin', it ain't easy
      E5
I've got to let go, Oh I've got to let go
          G5
And the hours they ran slow
I said every night she just can't stop sayin'
