	  		Intro: Gm  F  Dm  C      Gm  F  Dm  C  C    <------ slowly

     Dm         F            G       Bb C        Dm      F  G
In a white room   with black curtains   near the station.
Bb C          Dm     F          G        Bb C     Dm        F  G
Black roof country   no gold pavements   tired starlings.
Bb C      Dm     F          G         Bb C       Dm         F  G
Silver horses   run-down moon-beams   in your dark eyes.
Bb C          Dm     F         G      Bb C      Dm       F  G
Dawn light smiles   on your leaving   my contentment.
C               G                Bb        A
I'll wait----in this place, where the sun never shines.
C              G                Bb       C             D
Wait---in this place, where the shadows, run, from themselves.
Dm         F         G       Bb C      Dm      F  G
You said no strings   could secure you   at the station.
Bb C        Dm     F          G      Bb C       Dm        F  G
Platform ticket   restless diesels   goodbye windows.
Bb C        Dm   F        G       Bb C      Dm        F  G
I walked into   such a sad time   at the station.
Bb C    Dm         F         G       Bb C      Dm        F  G
As I walked out   felt my own need   just beginning.
     C              G               Bb           A
I'll wait----in the queue, when the trains, come back.
C           G              Bb       C             D
Lie----with you, where the shadows, run, from themselves.

    Gm  F  Dm  C      Gm  F  Dm  C  C    <----- slowly
       Dm     F        G       Bb C      Dm         F  G
At the party   she was kindness   in the hard crowd.
Bb C    Dm     F          G        Bb C     Dm        F  G
Consolation   from the old wound   now forgotten.
Bb C      Dm     F             G      Bb C      Dm        F  G
Yellow tigers   crouched in jungles   in her dark eyes.
Bb C          Dm       F         G      Bb C     Dm        F  G
She's just dressing   goodbye windows   tired starlings.
      C                G               Bb     A
I'll sleep----in this place, with the lonely crowd.
C            G               Bb       C             D
Lie---in the dark, where the shadows, run, from themselves.

    Gm  F  Dm  C      Gm  F  Dm  C  C       <----- slowly
    ( Instrumental:   Dm   F   G   Bb C )
