[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.
