2 Am G Close your eyes and go to sleep Fmaj7 Em From the howling, howling over these streets, Am G 'Cause people stare, 'cause you're so mad Fmaj7 Em That wild, wild spark, that innocent laugh Am But baby, that's this town, G It won't happen next time Fmaj7 Yeah, baby that's this town Em Lovers on love downs, Am G Fmaj7 Em It's this town to be blamed Am G At the top of the block there's a church Fmaj7 Em At the top of the tower there's a clock Am G And it rings and it sighs Fmaj7 Em 'Cause there's no time for all these lies Am But baby, that's this town, G It won't happen next time Fmaj7 Yeah, baby that's this town Em Lovers on love downs, Am G / Fmaj7 / Em It's this town to be blamed Am G Baby take a walk round to my house Fmaj7 Em Throw off these tired eyes and tears and these frowns Am G Take that lane so narrow and deep Fmaj7 Em And walk those regrets that fill your sleep Am G You say your sleep is naked but your dreams are clothed Fmaj7 Em What about your footsteps, who sees them go? Am G Who lets you know about these things? Fmaj7 Em Who's gonna say the things we think? Am G So take your keys and pack your bags Fmaj7 Em But leave your books and leave your maps (Bang it out - go mad) Am But baby, that's this town, G It won't happen next time Fmaj7 Sure, baby that's this town Em Lovers on love downs, Am It won't happen next time Am Sure baby, that's this town, G It won't happen next time Fmaj7 Yeah, baby that's this town Em Lovers on love downs, Am G It's this town to be blamed Fmaj7 Em It's this town to be blamed Am G / Fmaj7 / Em It's this town to be blamed Am Work, work, work G Rain, rain, rain Fmaj7 Home, home, home Em Again, again, again Work, work, work And a rain, rain, rain Home, home, home Again, again, again Work, work, work Rain, rain, rain Home, home, home Again, again, again It's work, work, work And the, rain, rain, rain And home, home, home Again, again, again It's work, work, work And the rain, rain, rain Your home, home, home Again, again, again It's, work, work, work Rain, rain, rain Home, home, home Again, again, again Work, work, work And the rain, rain, rain Your home, home, home Again, again, again
