Вступление
[Verse 1]
A Dm C
I went to New York and paid lots of money
G A
To stay in the silence and not play for anyone
Dm C
I picked up a bar tab and drank myself stupid
G A
I flirted with strangers just to feel attractive
Dm C
I stood on a rooftop and looked to the skyline
G A
The cloud started rolling in as I start to say
Dm C
"Goodbye" to my grandfather who's at home dying
G A
The rain started in and I was left crying...
[Chorus]
F
I've got to maintain the madness
C Dm
Just so the stillness makes sense to me
C
I've got to keep the momentum rolling along
Dm
So that no-one can stop me
Bb
No-one can drag me
F Em F Bb
Ho-ome
[Verse 2]
Dm C
I went to San Francisco with my best friend
G A
To sing in a bar full of gay men who wanted me
Dm C
But they did not know me though they thought I sang pretty
G A
I made love to the microphone so they would not feel
Dm C
So empty inside on this wintery night
G A
In this city of madmen and loners and stoners
Dm C G
And lovers forgotten in favour of rotten misfortunes with money
A
But I still went home alone
[Chorus]
F
Cos I've got to maintain the madness
C Dm
Just so the stillness makes sense to me
C
I've got to keep the momentum rolling along
Dm
So that no-one can stop me
Bb
No-one can drag me
F Em F Bb
Ho-ome
[Verse 3]
Bb Dm
But now I'm here in Boston
Bb Dm
In love with Downtown Crossing
C G
In this very room where some of my favourite songs have been written
A
I'm writing this one
F
To sing and remember
C
These days in December
G
Where I have surrendered
A
I'm not pretending
F C Dm
To stay still...
Bb F C Dm Bb
To stay still...
Dm C
So next week I'll go to Iceland
G
Then onto London
A Dm C
And into the arms of my favourite stranger
G
And then onwards
A Dm C
Cos I cannot I will not I cannot I will not I will not I cannot
A
I will never stop...
[Chorus]
F
Oh maintaining the madness
C Dm
Just so the stillness makes sense to me
Bb F C
I've got to keep the momentum rolling along
Dm
So that no-one can stop me
Bb
No-one can drag me
F Em Bb F
Ho-ome
F C Dm Bb
Ho-ome
