Tom: Dm
Bb F Eb
When everyone's gone, the quiet returns
F
Just passing through little hurricane
Bb F Eb
A melody comes, it plays and it's gone
F Eb
After the storm everything is still
F
And there's no conversation
Eb F
I'll talk to myself if I have to
Bb F Eb
Another high street, another hotel
F
Language is wrong, walking off beat
Bb F Eb
And after all the pretty girls leave
F
Who will be here to amuse you so
C G F
You'll never be quite sure when to stop
G
How many miles till the penny drops
C G
You're taking me back
F
Your east block flat
G
How will my heart ever get that
[Bridge]
F G
There's nothing here
F
Just concrete shapes
G
I look to the left and I tell you
[Chorus]
F G
English architecture
C A
Is far away
F Dm Bb
Maybe I'm waiting for a bell to ring
G F
A symphony to play
G C
Take my shoes away from me
A
And I will stay
F Dm Bb
Or I could just lie here and fantasise
G Bb
I'm really somewhere else
[Verse 2]
Bb F Eb
Another town another high street
F
Languages roll walking off beat
Bb F Eb
And after all the pretty girls leave
F
Who will be here to amuse you so
C G F
When everyone's gone, the quiet returns
G
Just passing through little hurricane
C G F
A melody comes, it plays and it's gone
G
After the storm everything is still
[Bridge]
F G
And there's no conversation
F G
I'll talk to myself if I have to
F
Now
[Chorus]
F G
And English architecture
C A
Is far away
F Dm Bb
Maybe I'm waiting for a bell to ring
G F
A symphony to play
G C
Take my shoes away from me
A
And I will stay
F Dm Bb
Or I could just lie here and fantasise
G
That nothing's gonna change
[Outro]
