[Intro]
E A
[Verse 1]
E A
Gloria, you're always on the run now
E
Running after somebody,
A
you gotta get him somehow
E
I think you've got to slow down
A
before you start to blow it
E
I think you're headed for a breakdown,
A
so be careful not to show it
[Chorus]
F#m B
You really don't remember,
E A
was it something that he said?
D E
Are the voices in your head
A
calling, Gloria?
E A
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
E
If everybody wants you,
A
why isn't anybody callin'?
E G
You don't have to answer
D E
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh,
A
calling Gloria
E
Gloria (Gloria),
A
I think they got your number (Gloria)
E
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
A
that you've been living under (Gloria)
F#m B
But you really don't remember,
E A
was it something that they said?
D E
Are the voices in your head
A
calling, Gloria?
[Instrumental]
E A
[Verse 2]
E
A-ha-ha, A-ha-ha, Gloria,
A
how's it gonna go down?
E
Will you meet him on the main line,
A
or will you catch him on the rebound?
E
Will you marry for the money,
A
take a lover in the afternoon?
E
Feel your innocence slipping away,
A
don't believe it's comin' back soon
[Chorus]
F#m B
And you really don't remember,
E A
was it something that he said?
D E
Are the voices in your head
A
calling, Gloria?
E A
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
E
If everybody wants you,
A
why isn't anybody callin'?
E G
You don't have to answer
D E
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh,
A
calling Gloria
E
Gloria (Gloria),
A
I think they got your number (Gloria)
E
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
A
that you've been living under (Gloria)
F#m B
But you really don't remember,

Are the voices in your head

2. Version of the song
[Intro]
B E
[Verse]
B
Gloria
E
manchi tu nell'aria
B
manchi ad una mano
E
che lavora piano
B
manchi a questa bocca
E
che cibo piu non tocca
B
e sempre questa storia
E
che lei la chiamo Gloria.
C#m F#
Gloria sui tuoi fianchi
B E
la mattina nasce il sole
A B
entra odio ed esce amore
E
dal nome Gloria.
B
Gloria
E
manchi tu nell'aria
B
manchi come il sale
E
mi manchi piu del sole
B D
sciogli questa neve
A B
che soffoca il mio petto
E
t'aspetto Gloria.
B E
Gloria chiesa di campagna
B
acqua nel deserto
E
lascio aperto il cuore
C#m F#
scappa senza far rumore
B E
dal lavore dal tuo letto
A B
dai gradini di un altare
E
ti aspetto Gloria.
[Instrumental]
B E
[Verse]
B E
Gloria per chi attende il giorno
B
e invece di dormire
E
con la memoria torna
B
a un tuffo nei papaveri
E
in una terra libera
B
per chi respira nebbia
E
per chi respira rabbia
C#m F#
per me che senza Gloria
B E
con te nuda sul divano
A B
faccio stelle di cartone
E
pensando a Gloria.
B
Gloria
E
manchi tu nell'aria
B
manchi come il sale
E
mi manchi piu del sole
B D
sciogli questa neve
A B
che soffoca il mio petto
E
t'aspetto Gloria.
