[INTRO]

[4/4]
| Am7 |
 
[VERSE]
       D5         Csus2        G/B      Bb5 C5     D5    Csus2  G/B
In the white room,  with black curtains,  near the station.
Bb5 C5        D5      Csus2      G/B      Bb5 C5    D5    Csus2  G/B
   Black roof country,  no gold pavements,   tired starlings.
Bb5 C5  D5     Csus2      G/B       Bb5  C5    D5      Csus2  G/B
 Silver horses,  ran down moonbeams,  in your dark eyes.
Bb5 C5     D5      Csus2    G/B     Bb5  C5  D5    Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
 Dawn light smiles,  on you leaving,  my contentment.
  
[CHORUS]
     C            G               Bb         A
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
C            G               Bb       C            D     | D N.C.  |
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
 
[VERSE]
          D5        Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5     Csus2  G/B
You said no strings,  could secure you,  at the station.
Bb5 C5      D5    Csus2       G/B    Bb5 C5      D5    Csus2  G/B
  Platform ticket,  restless diesels,   goodbye windows.
Bb5 C5      D5   Csus2    G/B      Bb5 C5    D5    Csus2  G/B
   I walked into,  such a sad time, at the station.
Bb5  C5 D5         Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5    Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
   As I walked out,  felt my own need, just beginning.
  
[CHORUS]
     C            G               Bb         A
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come by;
C            G         Bb       C          D
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

[VERSE] 
       D5    Csus2     G/B      Bb5 C5   D5        Csus2  G/B
At the party,  she was kindness,  in the hard crowd.
Bb5 C5  D5    Csus2     G/B       Bb5 C5   D5    Csus2  G/B
  Consolation,  for the old wound,  now forgotten.
Bb5 C5  D5     Csus2         G/B     Bb5 C5   D5       Csus2  G/B
 Yellow tigers,  crouched in jungles,  in her dark eyes.
Bb5 C5        D5       Csus2     G/B     Bb5  C5   D5     Csus2  G/B  Bb5 C5
   She's just dressing,  goodbye windows,  tired starlings.
 
[CHORUS] 
     C             G              Bb       A
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
C            G            Bb      C           D
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.
