[Intro] | Am Em/A | Dm Dm6 | Am Em/A | Dm Dm6 | [Verse 1]
     Am                 Em/A
If I only could deceive you

Dm             Dm6
Forgetting the game

      Am                  Em/A
Every time I try to leave you

    Dm             Dm6
You laugh just the same

          Dm           Dm6       Am
'Cause my wheels never touch the road

        Dm        Dm6     Am
And the jumble of lies we told

     Dm         Dm6        C        Bm7b5
Just returns to my back to weigh me down
[Verse 2]
       Am               Em/A
We lay cards upon the table

    Dm           Dm6
The backs of our hands

      Am                   Em/A
And I swear I like your people

    Dm          Dm6
The boys in the band

    Dm        Dm6   Am
Reminiscences gone astray

       Dm        Dm6     Am
Coming back to enjoy the fray

     Dm        Dm6       C        B7sus4   E   B7sus4
In a tangle of night and daylight sounds
[Instrumental] | Dm* Bm7b5 | Am | Am | C | G/B | Am | Dm6 | Am | Dm6 | |5/4 Dm Dm6 Am | Dm Dm6 Am | Dm Dm6 C |4/4 B7sus4 | E | B7sus4 | | Dm* Bm7b5 | Am | Am | C | G/B | Am | Am | Am | Am | [Verse 3]
       Am                  Em/A
All completeness in the morning

 Dm            Dm6
Asleep on your side

        Am                Em/A
I'll be waking up the crewmen

  Dm        Dm6
Banana-boat ride

       Dm           Dm6  Am
She responds like a limousine

         Dm          Dm6    Am
Brought alive on the silent screen

       Dm         Dm6       C     Bm7b5
To the shuddering breath of yesterday
[Verse 4]
       Am                Em/A
It's a battle for the needy

  Dm             Dm6
Incredible scenes

          Am                Em/A
There's a future to believe in

     Dm             Dm6
Your life and death dreams

       Dm      Dm6   Am
As the cavalry of despair

        Dm           Dm6    Am
Takes a stand in the lady's hair

        Dm        Dm6    C     B7sus4  E  B7sus4
For the favour of making sweet sixteen
[Outro] | Dm Bm7b5 | Am | Am | C | G/B | Am |
