        G  D6  A4  E 
 

G                  D 
I wander the lonely streets 
  A4                   E             E7 
Behind where the old Thames does flow 
G                  D 
And in every face I meet 
A                      E      E7 
Reminds me of what I have run for 
 

Am7 
In every man, in every hand 
Em 
In every kiss you understand 
C 
That living is for other men 
D                    D4 
I hope you too understand 

 

G                    D 
I've got to tell you my tale 
A4                    E    E7 
Of how I loved and how I failed 
G                D 
I hope you understand? 
A                             E       E7 
These feelings should not be in the man 


Am7 
In every child, in every eye 
Em 
In every sky above my head 
C 
I hope that I know 
D 
So come with me in bed 

 

            Am 
Because its you and me we're history 
Em 
There ain't nothing left to say 
    C                  D 
When I...will get you alone 
 

G                   D 
Maybe we could find a room? 
      A4                E 
Where we could see what we should do 
G                  D 
Maybe you know its true? 
      A                            E     E7 
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool 
 

Am7 
In every man, in every hand 
Em 
In every kiss you understand 
C 
That living is for other men 
D 
I hope you know that I am me 

 

Am7                            Em 
So come on, I'm thinking about history 
                 C 
And I'm living for history 
                            D 
And I think you know I'm bound for you 
Cause I am 

 

Am7                                 Em 
And one and one is two, but three is company 
                                C 
When you're thinking about the things you do 
                                D        D4 
And you're thinking about the things you do 
 

G                   D 
I wanna tell you my tale 
      A4                          E 
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail 
G           D 
Do you understand? 
        A                    E 
There's more in a smile than in a hand 
 

Am7 
In every sky, in every kiss 
        Em 
There's one thing that you've might have missed 
  C                         D 
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you? 
 

Am7 
But you and me, and so am I 
     Em 
Lets make it up 
                 C 
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile? 
      D 
Don't dream away your life 

            Am7 
Cause it is mine 
      Em 
It is mine 
          C 
Is that a crime? 
          D 
Is that a crime? 
             Am7                    Em 
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made 
                   C                            D 
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope 
Am7             Em 
Oh, the bed ain't made 
                         C                          D 
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope
