 It's so quiet on these windswept days
 
 The city lights look golden rays
 
 The sunlight on a subway track
 
 So you're mad again, if you like, I'll take it back
 
 They're just your feelings
 
 I wasn't looking at her eyes
 
 Oh, do you mean it?
 Same chord pattern as verse 1.
 It's so lonesome in this happenstance
 If you asked me, yes, I'd like to dance
 Just show me your blood-covered hand
 A perfumed dress is more than I can stand
 And you approach me
 With your hollow heart in hand
 And you tell me:
 Same chord pattern
 It's not civilised
 It's not fair to me
 The blues, the greys
 The olive greens
 I'll take you far away from me
 The girls in their summer dress, see?
 Though you don't notice
 They all look back at me
 Is this on purpose?
 Play Intro Riff for the Chorus. The switches happen as shown.
  Oh, no, no, no!
  Oh, no, no, no!
  Oh, no, no, no!
 Theres a measure of just scratched rhythm leading into the interlude.
 
 May I offer you this one olive branch?
 
 It's not as though you're always so keyed
 
 And we're both just the victims of circumstance
 
 Do you understand, do you know what I mean?
 Chrous 2:
 Oh, no, no, no!
 Oh, no, no, no!
 Oh, no, no, no!
 Oh, no, no, no!
 (No, no, no)
 I'm a husband first, I'm a childless curse
 I'm a faithful man, with a faceless thirst
 I'll stay with you, but please don't side
 Tried to explain, but you cry and cry and cry
 And you hate me when I ask the reason why
 You'll trade me a dollar for some sense
 But don't blame me, I was only making sense
 Oh, I'm so sorry, I was only making sense

It's not fair to me
The blues, the greys
The olive greens
I'll take you far away from me
The girls in their summer dress, see?

Though you don't notice
They all look back at me
Is this on purpose?
