Chords

[Intro] D Dmaj7 G D G A D D Dmaj7 G D G A D [Verse 1]
D       Dmaj7 G        D
  So it goes,  history shows

G       A      D
Deserts must expand

D      Dmaj7 G   D
Camels sail like wooden ships

     G     A      D
Like women on the strand

          D       Dmaj7  G     D
There's a sand on second avenue

        G     A           D
And the wind blows like a train

      D       Dmaj7  G         D
Taxis line up like a string of pearls

 G         A      D
Around the block again
[Chorus]
A                          G
 I remember everything and every window pane

A
 Every word came back to me

     G          Gm
Like I was Superman

           D        Dmaj7 G                D
But then I saw your face across the street

            G        A    D
Through the tears of Hercules
[Instrumental] D Dmaj7 G D G A D [Verse 2]
D          Dmaj7              G      D
 There's a bus that leaves at eighty fifty

 G      A      D
Another one at ten

         D      Dmaj7
Should I climb aboard?

     G    D         G       A      D
Risk everything and ride it to the end?

D         Dmaj7      G     D
Watch the hills like rollercoasters

G   A          D
Up against the sky

    D         Dmaj7    G       D
And wish that you were here by me

   G          A       D
So close that I could die
[Bridge]
A
 You said love wrecks everything

    G
And none of us survive

A
 But I got over you last night

  G               Gm
Inside this empty dive
[Refrain]
           D        Dmaj7 G                D
But then I saw your face across the street

            G        A    D
Through the tears of Hercules
[Instrumental] D Dmaj7 G D G A D D Dmaj7 G D G A D [Chorus]
A                          G
 I remember everything and every window pane

A
 Every word came back to me

     G          Gm
Like I was Superman

       D        Dmaj7 G         D
'Til I saw your face across the street

            G        A    D   Dmaj7 G D
Through the tears of Hercules

            G        A    D
Through the tears of Hercules
