Pet Shop Boys – To Step Aside (Guitar)

Cm        Gm     Ab        Fm
By the cathedral, into the sun

Cm           Gm      Ab             Fm
Pilgrims are singing, their journey done

Ab/F      Bb                Eb
I look at my short life and think

           Ab               Fm
Of all the champagne that I drink

             Bb           Eb
With all the faces that I know

             Ab              Fm  Bb
And how much further can one go?

           Cm   Eb      Cm    Bb Eb
And if I decide to step aside

       Fm        Gm        Ab         Bb
I will try to reply to the feelings I hide

Cm             Gm      Ab          Fm
I look from my window, down to the square

Cm         Gm            Ab         Fm
At workers still queueing patiently there

Ab/F       Bb           Eb
For market forces to provide

          Ab             Fm
What history's so far denied

      Bb                Eb
For a different kind of fate

               Ab              Fm  Bb
Than to labour long and always wait

           Cm   Eb       Cm   Bb Eb
And if I decide to step aside

       Fm       Gm          Ab       Bb
I will try to return to the person inside

Cm                 Dm
Will I always need you?

          Ab
Would you want me to?

Cm                  Dm
Can you love me for good

            Ab
The way you thought you could?

Fm                   Bb              Eb
Or will Spring bring rain and Summer burn?

              Ab               Fm
Will tears at last precede the turn

            Bb               Eb
From Summer warmth to sudden cold

          Ab            Fm   Bb
As certainly as growing old?

           Cm   Eb        Cm  Bb Eb
And if I decide to step aside

       Fm        Gm          Ab              Bb
I will try to forget all the tears I'll have cried
