[Intro]
Am G

[Verse 1]

Here in the streets so mechanised
G
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Am
Studied all the rules and I want no part
G
But I let you in just to break this heart
Am
Even though it was only one night it was
G
........Fucking strange

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Nina's in the bedroom,
G
She said time to go now
           D
But leavin', it ain't easy
        E
I've got to let go, Oh I've got to let go
                   G
And the hours they ran slow
I said every night she just can't stop sayin'

[Chorus]
