Joe Jackson – A Place In The Rain (Guitar)

G            F         Bb          C
Turn off the TV and turn off the light

Eb           F               C
Turn off the street lamps as well

 G            F               Bb                 C
Turn off the billboards that scream through the night

Eb              Dm          G
 And dream the policemen to Hell

G              F            Bb           C
Close all the windows and close all the doors

Eb             F             C
Close all the shutters and blinds

G               F           Bb           C
Close down the churches and pray to the whores

Eb                Dm         G
Lay down and then close your eyes

     Bb            Eb         F
It's amazing what comes into view

    Bb             Eb          F
As we're finally breaking the chains

         Bb           Eb
When the temperature rises

     F           Dm7         G        F  Dm  G [x2]
We'll go to our place in the rain

G              F             Bb           C
Take down the pictures and take out the trash

 Eb         F             C
Take up the tattered old rugs

 G           F             Bb            C
Take up the mattress and count all the cash

     Eb             Dm         G
And laugh with the last of the drugs

G              F         Bb           C
Burn all the papers and burn all the wood

 Eb           F          C
Burn what we can't understand

G           F          Bb           C
Run up a flag for the old neighbourhood

Eb            Dm          G
Sit back and then take my hand

     Bb            Eb         F
It's amazing what lovers  can do

    Bb             Eb          F
With just a kiss and a glass of champagne

      Bb         Eb
When the rivers run dry

     F           Dm7         G        F  Dm  G [x2]
We'can go to our place in the rain

G            F         Bb          C
Pay off the piper and pay all the bills

 Eb          F       C
Pay for the getaway car

G             F           Bb           C
Blow out the candles and head for the hills

Eb           Dm            G
Pray that we make it that far

G              F         Bb           C
Run from the poison and run from the flames

Eb           F           C
Run from the maddening crowd

  G             F          Bb              C
Laugh at the whispers of who'll take the blame

    Eb             Dm         G
And sing all the sinners out loud

Bb                Eb         F
It's amazing what crazy can do

 Bb             Eb         F
When every good citizen's sane

 Bb             Eb
When heaven's a desert

 F               Dm7           G
We'll go to our place in the rain

Bb                 Eb          F
It's amazing what comes into view

Bb                       Eb                    F
When you just connect your heart back to your brain

Bb              Eb
When heaven's a desert

F                Dm7          G
We'll go to our place in the rain
