[Verse 1]
D
I don't care whether you hear this
Dsus4 D G
I don't care if I'm alone here singing songs to myself
D Dsus4
There's nobody else around, around
D Dsus4
Meet you up at the Indian part of the town
D G
The town's shut down, the people left with their bags
D Dsus4
Their kids so there's not a sound a sound
[Verse 2]
D
But I must get from there to here
Dsus4 D G
There's a small voice crying on the other side of the river from here
D Dsus4
It's too late to phone her now
D
What went wrong, your grades were good
Dsus4 D G
It would take a left wing Robin Hood to pay for school
D Dsus4
Your dad's a boozer and you keep him alive
[Instrumental]
Bm G E A D Dsus4 D Dsus4
[Verse 3]
D
Just a minute close your eyes
Dsus4 D G
If we settle for this compromise I will stay with you
D Dsus4
The river looks so good tonight
D
I don't know what's with your friend
Dsus4 D G
She met a boy and at the summer's end
D Dsus4
She said she'd had enough of playing games
[Verse 4]
D
I don't care cause I'm by myself
Dsus4 D
All the dancers left but I can't dance
G D Dsus4
So I will stay and clean the mess they left behind
D Dsus4
But I dream as I set to scrub all the floors, the walls
D G D Dsus4
I'm thinking of a song or two, a boy a girl a rendezvous
[Instrumental]
Bm G E A Bm G E A D Dsus4 D Dsus4
[Bridge]
D
Are you coming or are you not?
Dsus4 D
There is nothing that would sort you out
G
There's nothing I could say or do
D Dsus4 D
You're going to crash, I'll set the bails in (front of you)
D
Are you coming or are you not?
Dsus4 D
There is nothing that would sort you out
G
An interesting way of life
D Dsus4 D
Deny yourself the benefits of (being alive)
[Verse 5]
D Dsus4
You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station
D G
With a torch and a Woman's Realm to keep you warm
D Dsus4
To keep you company
D Dsus4
You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station
D G
With a torch and a Woman's Realm
D Dsus4
To keep you company tonight
