Tom: Am
Am G
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Fmaj7 Em
From the howling, howling over these streets,
Am G
'Cause people stare, 'cause you're so mad
Fmaj7 Em
That wild, wild spark, that innocent laugh
Refrain:
Am
But baby, that's this town,
G
It won't happen next time
Fmaj7
Yeah, baby that's this town
Em
Lovers on love downs,
Am G / Fmaj7 / Em
It's this town to be blamed
Am G
At the top of the block there's a church
Fmaj7 Em
At the top of the tower there's a clock
Am G
And it rings and it sighs
Fmaj7 Em
'Cause there's no time for all these lies
Am
But baby, that's this town,
G
It won't happen next time
Fmaj7
Yeah, baby that's this town
Em
Lovers on love downs,
Am G / Fmaj7 / Em
It's this town to be blamed
(Picking)
Am G
Baby take a walk round to my house
Fmaj7 Em
Throw off these tired eyes and tears and these frowns
Am G
Take that lane so narrow and deep
Fmaj7 Em
And walk those regrets that fill your sleep
Am G
You say your sleep is naked but your dreams are clothed
Fmaj7 Em
What about your footsteps, who sees them go?
Am G
Who lets you know about these things?
Fmaj7 Em
Who's gonna say the things we think?
Am G
So take your keys and pack your bags
Fmaj7 Em
But leave your books and leave your maps
(Bang it out - go mad)
Am
But baby, that's this town,
G
It won't happen next time
Fmaj7
Sure, baby that's this town
Em
Lovers on love downs,
Am
It won't happen next time
Am
Sure baby, that's this town,
G
It won't happen next time
Fmaj7
Yeah, baby that's this town
Em
Lovers on love downs,
Am G
It's this town to be blamed
Fmaj7 Em
It's this town to be blamed
Am G / Fmaj7 / Em
It's this town to be blamed
Am
Work, work, work
G
Rain, rain, rain
Fmaj7
Home, home, home
Em
Again, again, again (This chords sequence repeats and fades so ad lib)
Work, work, work
And a rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again
Work, work, work
Rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again
It's work, work, work
And the, rain, rain, rain
And home, home, home
Again, again, again
It's work, work, work
And the rain, rain, rain
Your home, home, home
Again, again, again
It's, work, work, work
Rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again
Work, work, work
And the rain, rain, rain
Your home, home, home
Again, again, again
