[Intro]
G Em G Cadd9
G Am7 D
[Verse 1]
G Em7 G We returned to that five-room flat Cadd9 G Am7 D Now it was empty and this the last time G There were blinking pictures Em G Of how we'd sit and chat Cadd9 G Some of them scattered Am7 D Others shattered in my mind
[Chorus]
F C G F It was always three flights up C G Em7 D Cathedral bells kept time
[Verse 2]
G Em G In the winter, a-chatterin' cold Cadd9 G Am7 D While the building shook like ragweed in the wind G Em Stories from the heat pipes G We were told Cadd9 G But now they only leave me Am7 D With a half-enchanted grin
[Chorus]
F C G F It was always three flights up C G Cathedral bells kept time
[Bridge]
G7 Cadd9 G Bicycles squeezed down alley ways into view Cadd9 And towels warmed on oven doors Cadd9 To not freeze G Am7 D Was the only thing to do
[Verse 3]
G D Em G And I wonder if we kept to the fair warning Cadd9 G 'Cause I can see it in the flowers Am7 D Dyin' on the windowsill G Em G Cadd9 G I know we must be out by tomorrow mornin' Am7 D F But am I going 'gainst my will
[Chorus]
F C G F It was always three flights up C G Cathedral bells kept time
