Tom: G
G C Em G
D D7 C G
[Verse 1]
C G C G
She lies there sleeping, her hair's in a mess
Em G Em
She's got cheap red wine on the front of her dress
D D7
I suppose in a way, I love her no less
C G C G
We've all got our own way of loving, I guess
[Verse 2]
C G C G
We're two of a kind, we get by that way
Em G Em
Neither is waiting for the other to say
D D7
I love you I need you, maybe it's true
C G C G D C G
It goes without saying, it gets us through
[Verse 3]
C G C G
So I'll come to you once again tonight
Em G Em
I always look better when you turn out the light
D D7
Pretend that I'm special, romantic and true
C G C G
And I'll write you a poem and I'll give it to you
[Verse 4]
C G C G
Pretend that I'm Byron, Shelley or Keats
Em G Em
Who plays with words and subtle deceits
D D7
Pretend that I'm Romeo, troubled in love
C G C G
Who gives you his heart in a golden glove
[Chorus]
C
This is my town, this is my place
G
I've got midnight bars written over my face
C
I've got a million miles staring out of my eyes
G C
I can play with the truth, but I can't tell you lies
D
Oh, it's hard and it's cruel, but it happens to be true
C G D G
I haven't that much to give to you
C G D
But whatever I've got, you can take it for free
C G D G
Whatever you've got, that's enough for me
[Instrumental]
G Em D C G
[Verse 5]
C G C G
Pretend that this room, on the cheap side of town
Em G Em
Is a place far away, where we'll never be found
D D7
Where the cry of the seagull and the sound of the sea
C G C G
Come together to make a sweet symphony
[Verse 6]
C G C G
Instead of this town that's covered in grime
Em G Em
With neon rainbows beating out time
D D7
Where the streets are slick with winter rain
C G C G
And there's no way out to start over again
[Chorus]
C
This is my town, this is my place
G
I've got midnight bars written over my face
C
I've got a million miles staring out of my eyes
G C
I can play with the truth, but I can't tell you lies
D
Oh, it's hard and it's cruel, but it happens to be true
C G D G
I haven't that much to give to you
C G D
But whatever I've got, you can take it for free
C G D G
Whatever you've got, that's enough for me
