The Piccadilly Trail - On the 12" single to Shout To The Top
[Intro]
| Dmaj7 | G F#m | x 2
[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 G F#m
What you asked for is what I gave
Dmaj7 G F#m
No questions stopped at and nothin' saved
Bm Em
From my scarcity of presence to my rarely seen bed
Bm Em
I took you in hopin' that you'd be a friend
G A D
Now I'm so scared of the weeks ahead
| Dmaj7 | G F#m | x 2
ahead
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 G F#m
What I dreamed of I saw in you
Dmaj7 G F#m
I needed someone that I could trust
Bm Em
But you smashed down all my faith with your callous lies
Bm Em
From the etchin' of daybreak to the canvas of moonlight
G A D Dmaj7
And now, I'm so scared that your reveal what's mine
[Chorus]
G F Dmaj7
The trail, you led me down
G F Dmaj7
Betrayal, you let me down
G F Dmaj7
The trail, I'm so ashamed of you
G A D
Now, I'm so scared of the weeks ahead
| Dmaj7 | G F#m | x 4
ahead
[Bridge]
Bm Em
From the silence I'm lost here in my lonely room
Bm Em
Tears are what brought you Now you brought gloom
Bm Em
In the fadin' light of sun I hear my empty heart bloom
G A D
Can you ever explain Your need to cause me pain?
| Dmaj7 | G F#m | x 1
pain
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7 G F#m
I hear the whispers in the Soho Cafes
Dmaj7 G F#m
The poison gossip of the 10 'P' arcades
Bm Em
Of looks and the stares of those who know
Bm Em
Now their hateful eyes are the one's I close
G A D
And I'm so scared of the years ahead
| Dmaj7 | G F#m | x 1
ahead
[Chorus]
G F Dmaj7
The trail, you led me down
G F Dmaj7
Betrayal, you let me down
G F Dmaj7
The trail, I'm so ashamed of you
G A D
Now, I'm so scared of the weeks ahead
| Dmaj7 | G F#m | x 4
ahead
[Outro]
G F Dmaj7
The trail
G F Dmaj7
The trail
G F Dmaj7
The trail .... to fade
