Taken from the album A Northern Soul

Intro:  G-D6-Asus4-E  - x2


Verse 1
-------
G		    D
I wander the lonely streets...
Asus4		     E	              E7
Behind where the old Thames does flow.
G		    D
And in every face I meet...
A			  E      E7
Reminds me of what I have run for.


Bridge
------
Am
In every man, in every hand,
Em
In every kiss you understand,
C
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you too understand...


Verse 2
-------
G                       D
I've got to tell you my tale...
Asus4                      E    E7
Of how I loved and how I failed...
G                D
I hope you understand?
A                            E       E7
These feelings should not be in the man.


Bridge
------
Am
In every child, in every eye,
Em
In every sky above my head...
C
I hope that I know,
D
So come with me in bed.


Chorus
------
            Am
Because its you and me we're history
Em
There ain't nothing left to say
     C                   D
When I...will get you alone...


Verse 3
-------
G                     D
Maybe we could find a room?
      A                 E
Where we could see what we should do...
G                  D
Maybe you know its true?
A                            E         E7
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.


Bridge
------
Am
In every man, in every hand,
Em
In every kiss you understand,
C
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you know that I am me...


Chorus (Reprise)
----------------
Am       			Em
So come on, I'm thinking about history,
		C
And I'm living for history,
			  D
And I think you know I'm bound for you,

Cause I am...


Bridge (Reprise)
----------------
Am              		     Em
And one and one is two, but three is company
				C
When you're thinking about the things you do,
			       D
And you're thinking about the things you do...


Verse 4
-------
G                   D
I wanna tell you my tale...
      A                           E
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...
G           D
Do you understand?
        A                    E
There's more in a smile that in a hand.


Bridge
------
Am
In every sky, in every kiss
        Em
There's one thing that you've might have missed
  C                       D
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?

Chorus
------
Am
But you and me, and so am I
     Em
Lets make it up
                  C
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?
      D
Don't dream away your life...

Cause it is mine...

          C
Is that a crime?
          D
Is that a crime?
             Am		             Em
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,
		   C   			         D
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
