F   C   Em
F   C   Em

[Verse]
Am                            Em
Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinning
         D
And dollars to deutchmarks, and pennies from heaven
        Am                                      Em
And up on the catwalk, theres one hundred million
          D
With letters from thousands that say ''just who are you?
Am                                              Em
There's one thousand names that can spring up in my mind
D
But youd call it blackmail and thats just not my kind
Am                                Em
And up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
D
And I dont know why

I will be there, I will be there

[Verse]
Am                                   Em
Up on the catwalk there's street politicians
D
That crawl in from broadway, say then who are you
Am                                          Em
And up on the catwalk there's one thousand postcards
D
From Montevideo, say that I'll be home soon
Am                               Em
Get out of Bombay and go up to Brixton
D
and look around, to see just what is missing
Am                               Em
And up on the catwalk, girls call for mother
D
and dream of their boyfriends and I don't know why

Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need
Am                           Em                    D
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me

Am   Em   D
Am   Em   D

[Verse]
Am                               Em
Up on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoats
       D
And got brilliantino, and friends of Kim Philby
Am                                               Em
You float through the night time, like manna from heaven
D
But what, what do I know, and just what do I know
Am                                Em
And up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistens
D
And I dont know why and I dont know why
Am                          Em    D
I dont know why

[Bridge]
F                                                            C      Em
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
F                                     C     Em
I will be there, I will be there

N.C.
Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need
N.C.
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me
