[Verse 1]
Bm F# [tab] Bm G A run-down basement in South Ken F# Hiding your face Bm G Behind the railings in the rain A G D Stony steps to a small grey herd G D Em Of dustbins blinking in the sunlight F# Our yesterday lives Bm A G F# Crouched by the fireside Bm A G F# In Elvaston Place
[Verse 2]
Bm F# Holes in the lace- Bm G Curtains, splintery window frames F# A small furnished space Bm G We never knew the landlord's name A G D Electric bar to warm your winter toes G D Em Evening paper for the bath mat F# Watching the face Bm A G F# Happy beside me Bm In Elvaston Place
[Bridge]
G F# The city's spreading like a stony tide across the countryside Bm A F# I live alone now in London town G F# Cars and buses everywhere, they hide the sun and eat the air Bm A F# You need a friend when it gets you down G A G D All the money that I've ever owned G D Em I'd give it all tomorrow F# Bm A G F# If I could lay happy beside you Bm A G F# In Elvaston Place
[Verse 3]
Bm F# Elvaston Place Bm G I stopped to look at you today F# New whitewashed face Bm G Behind the railings in the rain A G D You once held a love of mine G D Em She changed just like the weather F# Bm A G F# The Kensington skies go on for ever Bm A G F# In Elvaston Place
