A great song, also on Francis' solo album. Slightly different then that version, but good. I only got the chords so far, but enjoy them, anyway.
G                                  B
When the streets are empty late at night

G                                B
Just the silence fills me with delight, s'alright

C                Cm
Rain is falling, trees are still

   G                     Em
My mind is racing but my heart is as well

         Am    D       G
It's not funny, it's a shame

G                                B
He's the greatest fighter in the world

G                          B
Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl

C                     Cm
He'll get better, the scars will heal

    G                      Em
His eyes will open but his heart never will

Changes in our lives go right on through and through

C                 Cm
It gets better as time goes on

Some of us are gonna end up alone
