[A1]
D               A7sus
  The city in a hundred ways,
G                             A
  it would never let you stay.
D
  Remember all the thankless days
G                         A
  and the lousy take home pay?


[B1]
D
  They loved you
A7sus                  G              A
  when you thought that no-one could.
D
  They loved you
A7sus               G                 A
  when you said that no-one should.

D                    A7sus
  The photographs in black and white
G                                          A
  that show you playing close to type -
D                       A7sus
  Your eyes against the midday light,
G                                          A
  your eyes when they still had the fight.

  You talk so fast
G                                 Asus2
  to stop yourself from thinking.
D                 A7sus
  You move so fast
G                                    A
  so you'll never see you're sinking.


[B3]

D
  They love you,
A7sus                  G                        A
  then they say you're much too, much too bland.
