Tom: Em
Em
[Verse]
Am
Writing on dirty paper with
C
Nothing new to say
Am
Except that as I see it
C
Today is just today
G
The past is ever present
Em
with all its senseless pain
G
And through the nearest window
Em D
it nearly looks like rain
[Chorus]
G D
Just like London
G D
Just like London
Em
Just like London
[Verse]
Am C
The logs here in the fire don't really want to burn
Am C
But as with all desire, you've got to live & learn
G Em
The flames which mean to warm me, warn me
G
That bad things can still happen
Em D
All the same, all the same
[Chorus]
G D
Just like London
G D
Just like London
Em
Just like London
[Verse]
Am
Children laughing children crying,
C Am
Children all the same, but you'll grow up and through
C
Mistakes you'll learn to play the game
G
So keep your eyes peeled and
Em
watch out the sneak attacks
G
And keep your nose clean or
Em D
you'll end up on your back
[Chorus]
G D
Just like London
G D
Just like London
Em
Just like London
[Verse]
Am C Am
Cheat the reaper & find a wife
C G
Throw away your switchblade knife
Em G
Let your wounds heal
Em D
Let your heart feel, let it feel...
[Outro]
G D
Unlike London!
G D
Unlike London
Em
Unlike London
