 -- repeat a couple of times. Lick on ,  with D-D4-D4 that bring you the high note.
He  sees it coming  from a mile  away
He  knows all the rules  by heart  and so the game is played
He's  trading love  for this sordid  night of bliss
 Though nothing  good, nothing  good could ever  come from this
 (repeat last line)
 Same for second stanza (but don't repeat the last line, instead go into the bridge):
 You've seen how people rise in times of need
 Forget all their pettiness, forget all their greed
 But he can't rise above this warm and reckless kiss
 Though nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this
 Change from the last  to a :
   From this only sorrow
From  this no future, only tomorrows
 (now, again, same as first stanza)
 And when the morning comes tumbling down
 No trace of the night before, it's still the same old town
 But deep inside now hides a stranger in his midst
 And nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this
 Nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this
 Good luck! It's a beautiful song.
