Roaring bus engines, rumbling trains on their tracks, and buzzing markets and cafes all amplify the sounds of people coming and going.

B7 E AM7 E
Back in the old days I had my own ways of loving you.
F#m7/C# E AM7 E B7
It was turpentine to an open wound that I was for you in November, and now it's June.
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
The reverend, he, his family, were gathered there.
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
You had paint hiding in your hair,
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
I was standing in your kitchen door.
F#m7/C# C6/G
What have I come around for?
E AM7
To say that the wars we wage are all children's games.
E AM7
We are boys and girls wearing colanders and capes.
E AM7
In these dreadful days, my head is that place
E F#m7/C#
where you love me and branches are swords.
C6/G G#m/F# F#m/E G#m/F# E B7 E B7
I'll use them here to fight this war.
E, AM7 (4 Times)
[Strings Break]
E AM7 E
Now these are peaceful days and I am at war with ways of loving you.
F#m7/C# E
I'll put a pen to paper to try and explain to you what
AM7 E E7
eight thousand miles can do when there are one hundred more between me and you.
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
Darling, you don't write me of your love anymore.
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
I am sleeping on this davenport.
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
When guests arrive, I will be on the floor.
F#m7/C# C6/G
What have we even come home for?
E AM7
To say that the wars we wage are all children's games.
E AM7
We are boys and girls wearing colanders and capes.
E AM7 E F#m7/C#
In these dreadful days, my head is that place where you love me and branches are swords.
F#m7/C#, G#m7(#5)/D# (3 Times)
[Follow the rhythm of the "Ooh Aahs"]
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
Darling, I love and want you desperately.
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
Still, more, I need that returned to me.
F#m7/C# G#m7(#5)/D#
So in truth, honestly, frankly as can be,
F#m7/C# C6/G
do or don't you want to marry me?
C6/G G#m/F# F#m/E G#m/F# E
I'll wait as long as need be.
