Tom: Am

                          Am
Through the doors of that rented room
         G
Yeah, we stumbled through
       Am
It was only hours
                G
It seemd such a short while
           Am
We had no time to cry
           G
Or sit and wonder why
          Am
We had so many things started to say
          G
We had to get through
             Am
We tried the cinema
       G 
Within half an hour
          Am
We had to go find someplace else
        G
More. . . you know
            Am
We tried a drinking bar
           G
It gets so very hot
             Am
And when the cab ride ahead seems too long
                  G
We go fuck in the bathroom
                     
                    F
We can't afford the time to sit and cry
      G
Or to wonder why
             F
We've got so many things started to say
          G
We had to get through

                          Am
Through the doors of that rented room
         G
Yeah, we stumbled through
          Am
We had so many things started to say
          G 
We had to get through

[Instrumental] Am G ( x2 )
     
                    F    
We can't afford the time to sit and cry
      G
Or to wonder why
             F 
We've got so many things started to say
           G
We had to get through
                   F    
We haven't got the time for telling lies
      G
Or to even try
             F
There's only days in between
             G
There's just tomorrow

[instrumental] F G ( x2 )
                          Am
Through the doors of that rented room   
         G    
Yeah, we stumbled through
       Am                          G
It was only hours it seemed such a short while
                          Am
In those pillows all the feathers that hold all our dreams
     G
They split at the seams
              Am                   G
Now they just seem to float on the breeze
                          F
I could have wrapped that pillow around my head
      G
Face down on the bed
             F                          G
I could have drowned in those so-called dreams
                    F
We can't afford the time to sit and cry
      G
Or to wonder why
             F
There's only days in between
             G
There's just tomorrow

[Outro] F G ( x2 )
        Am G ( x7)
        Am...
