I [G] glanced back on my life and [Bm] thought about my wife 'cause [C] They took the keys, and [D] she'll think it's me, And I'm [G] down in the tube station at [Bm] midnight The [C] wine will be flat, and the [D] curry's gone cold I'm [G] down in the tube station at [Bm] midnight, o - o - [C] o - [D] oh Don't wanna go [G] down in the tube station at [Bm] midnight, o - o - [C] o - [D] oh Don't want to go [G] down in the tube station at [Bm] midnight, o - o - [C] oh, [D] oi!
