Chords

[Intro] Gm7 C Gm7 C Gm7 C F [Verse 1]
 F
Upon this day, if all else fails

   Gm7
It seems we'll have to face the truth

Eb
I believe for my part in this thing

Bb
I really did love you

F
What you loved was love itself

    Gm7
And trying to make a lie come true

Eb
I believe for your part in this thing

Bb
You hardly even knew
[Chorus]
Am7           Dm
All along the city streets

Gm7                      C
You can hear the voices swell

                    F
Like the ringing of bells

Am7         Dm
Memories on days like these

     Gm7                   C
They echo like the rain in wells

                    F
Like the ringing of bells
[Verse 2]
F
The saturation point's been reached

      Gm7
Can't soak up any more regrets

Eb
I believe from the start of this thing

Bb
I must have paid some debts

F
Looking at you now and then

    Gm7
You seem to be like someone else

Eb
I believe at the heart of this thing

Bb
You hardly knew yourself
[Chorus]
Am7           Dm
All along the city streets

Gm7                      C
You can hear the voices swell

                    F
Like the ringing of bells

Am7         Dm
Memories on days like these

     Gm7                  C
They echo like the sea in shells

                    F
Like the ringing of bells
[Solo] F Gm7 Eb Bb F Gm7 Eb Bb [Chorus]
Am7           Dm
All along the city streets

Gm7                      C
You can hear the voices swell

                    F
Like the ringing of bells

Am7         Dm
Memories on days like these

    Gm7                  C
Run deeper than time can tell

                    F
Like the ringing of bells

             F
A ringing of bells

             F
A ringing of bells
[Outro] Gm7 C Gm7 C Gm7 C F
