Вступление
[Intro]
D Em F#m Em D
[Verse 1]
D Em
The man was trying to talk to me
F#m Em
about scenes I did not know.
D Em
He asked me to spend the night with him,
F#m A
so I said that I'd have to go.
D
For the words spilled out
F#m
from the edge of his lips
G D
and fell down the side of his chin
D Em
as my mind moved away for a short holiday
G D
with a girl I had seen coming in
[Pre Chorus]
D Em
In her hair, you could smell the diesel fumes
F#m Em
of a midnight motorway.
D Em
In her eyes, she keeps the summer times
F#m A
where happier memories play.
[Chorus]
D
Yes, you know how sometimes,
F#m
when you're making up rhymes
G D
and you can't find a word that will fit?
D Em
Well, she was the one who got stuck on your tongue
G D
and gave you the option to quit.
[Interlude]
D Em F#m Em D
[Verse 2]
D Em
She split the night time with her smile
F#m Em
and broke up the sky with her dreams
D Em
and she doesn't believe all the men she has known
F#m A
were all real, for that's how it seems.
D F#m
In her leather shines the darkness
G D
of the mentrrrrll??? parlour??? tonight,
D
and she'll cut out your tongue
Em
with each blade that she pulls
G D
though your conscience may put up a fight.
[Pre Chorus]
D Em
So, I watched her fumble with cigarettes
F#m Em
and a trembling coffee cup.
D Em
Yet, I'd be there myself if I knew where she was,
F#m A
but she sighed and her mind drifted off
[Chorus]
D
Yes, you know sometimes
F#m
when you're watching for signs
G D
and you can't find a look that will fit?
D Em
Well, she was the one who put out the sun
G D
and gave me a reason to quit.
[Interlude]
D Em F#m Em D
D Em
Panes of glass have shattered now
F#m Em
and the wind comes racing in
D Em
to disconnect the spiders' webs
F#m A
the spread their wings round the brim
D
of the pots and the bottles
F#m
that soak in the dust
G D
with jungle of clothes that she keeps
D
incase, maybe some day
Em
she feels that she may
G D
become queen of the night as she sleeps.
D Em
A trail of broken effigies
F#m Em
lay scattered 'round her bed
D Em
the apples, the records, the cigarette ash
F#m A
have melted into her head
D F#m
and she takes off her clothes to a Portuguese hymn
G D
that she found in a jar on the beach
D Em
she has woven it seems a basket of dreams
G D
for the fruit that just out of reach.
[Interlude]
D Em F#m Em D
[Verse 3]
D Em
At last, she has tasted the opium sleep
F#m Em
and wonders just how it will feel
D Em
when the fingers of fear touch her innermost soul
F#m A
and the breath of life becomes real
D
Well, you know how sometimes
F#m
you're alone in your mind
G D
and you've just found a piece that will fit?
D
Well, she was the one
Em
when all's said and done.
G D
who gave me the freedom to quit
[Pre chorus]
D Em
The man was still trying to talk to me
F#m Em
about scenes I did not know.
D Em
He asked me to enter a contract with him
F#m A
so I said that I'd have to go.
[Chorus 2]
D
For the words spilled out
F#m
from the edge of his mouth
G D
and fell down the side of his face
D
but my mind was away
Em
on a short holiday
G D
with a girl I'd seen leaving the place.
[Outro]
