Nightingale Lane

Intro: 
N.C. 
This is a song about the greatest 
heartbreak I have ever known. 
The song is called "Nightingale lane". 

 
         F                        Eb 
On the street in the South London suburbs 
         Bb/F                     F 
Where my first love kissed me goodbye 
              F                                                Eb 
His lips were thin (thin), and beer-stained (beer-stained) and tear-stained 
                        Bb/F 
Was a pain that made me colder now 
                                       F 
After the oceans I cried, I´m made of steel 
Just floating now, mm-mm 
 

 
Am7                          Dm7 
  But when I drive (when I drive) 
Dm7                         Gm7 
  Down this road (down this uff) 
Gm7     F/A             Bbm 
  I reminisce, (Lose my mind) 
         F/A 
I drive slow, I've let him go now (I,I..) 
Dm7 
  I just see a ghost town 
    Ebm6 
And sometimes at red lights 
      Ebm6 
With closed eyes, I tell myself 
  Ebm6                       Bb/F 
I dare myself to go on, just say it 
 

 
         Bb/F                    F 
Somebody loved me once (Loved me once) 
                     F 
And someday somebody will love again 
         Eb 
Like the way you loved me 
(Take me back in your arms, love me right, just tonight) 
   Ebm/F# 
On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane) 
   Ebm/Bb         Bb/F 
Although we never made it, stranger 
    Bb/F 
You showed my it´s true 
    F 
I´m capable of loving someone the way I loved you 
       Cm/Eb 
It was right there,(And it was) early June (Right next to..) 
                            Ebm/F# 
Next to Old Park Avenue (on Nightingale Lane) 
                        Ebm 
Standing in the rain, I watched him walk away 
            F 
Yeah, ba-bo-boo 
 

 
                 Eb 
Took me long old years to get over you 
          Bb                       F 
It was an aching I refuse to feel again 
            F 
And looking back now 
                    Eb 
We never were quite right for each other, baby 
           Bb/F 
But in the abscence of passion in my life 
           Bbm 
I remember how alive love once was 
 

 
      Am7                                       Dm7 
And I sigh when I drive (when I drive, when I drive) 
                       Dm7                   Gm7 
When I drive down this road, yeah (down this road) 
      Am7            Bb              F 
I reminisce (Lose my mind), I drive slow 
             F 
I've let him go now (I, I...) 
Dm7 
  I just see a ghost town 
    Ebm6 
And sometimes at red lights 
      Ebm6 
With closed eyes, I tell myself 
          Ebm6                       Bb/F 
In fact I dare myself to go on, just say it 
 

 
         Bb/F                    F 
Somebody loved me once (Loved me once) 
F 
Someday somebody will again 
         Bb/F    Eb/Bb 
Like the way you loved me (Loved me) 
(Take me back in your arms, love me right, just tonight) 
  Ebm/Bb 
On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane) 
                   Bb/F 
And though we never made it, stranger 
                   Bb/F 
You showed my it's true 
    F 
I´m capable of loving someone the way I loved you 
       Cm/Bb 
It was right there,(And it was) in June (Right next to) 
                    Ebm/F# 
Next to Old Park Avenue (on Nightingale Lane) 
                        Ebm/Bb 
Standing in the rain, I watched him walk away 
  F      Eb 
Yeah, ti-di-di 
 

 
 Bb 
I've dabbled in love since 
             F 
Maybe every other summer 
It never lasts long 
            F 
They never stick around 
                                    Eb 
Im made of steel now (I´m made of steel) 
    Eb                    Bb/F 
I believe someday someone gon' come along 
                         Bbm/C# 
And knock them walls down,   and knock them walls down 
 

Outro: 
F/A         Dm7 
    When I drive (When I drive) 
          Gm7 Am7 
Down this road (Down this road) 
      Bbm    F/A 
I´m reminded though 
             Dm7 
Ive let him go now 
Ebm6 
Right here, in this ghost town 
Ebm6 
Right here on this ground is where 
Ebm          Bb

And someday someone  will again 
Someone will

Like the way you loved me
