[Verse 1]
E B F#m A
The night's a spill, a permanent stain; the city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
E B F#m A
A blue glow from the tv again, the curtains never open, faces never show
E B F#m A
And every time a light is turned on there's a light that's turned off somewhere
E B F#m A
For every moment that's lost there's a perfect cost, there's a debt you can't share
F#m B E A F#m B
Clocks stopped at the corner of Albert will show your last bus left an hour ago
E B F#m A E B F#m A
so stumble down the stairs again, pretend you're not too proud
E B F#m A F#m A
to understand and still know when your voice cuts through the crowd
E A E A
that lonely people talk too loud
[Verse 2]
E B F#m A
The night's a spill, a permanent stain; the city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
E B F#m A
A blue glow from the tv again, the curtains never open, faces never show
E B F#m A
And every night they play the same song to the same offbeat believers
E B F#m A
And everyone is singing along wearing blueblack eyes, wearing dead men's neck-ties
F#m B E A F#m B
Clocks stopped at the corner of Albert will show your last bus left an hour ago
E B F#m A E B F#m A
so stumble down the stairs again, pretend you're not too proud
E B F#m A F#m A
to understand and still know when your voice cuts through the crowd
E A E A
that lonely people talk too loud
[Bridge]
G#m A
Numbers on a washroom stall
G#m F#m A
There's always more then one last call calling you
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
E G#m A
Or you got blue eyes, or you got green eyes, or you got grey eyes
E G#m A B
Or you got blue eyes, or you got green eyes, or you got grey eyes
E G#m A
Or you got blue eyes, or you got green eyes, or you got grey eyes
E G#m A
Or you got blue eyes, or you got green eyes, or you got grey eyes
E A E A E
