[E][Am]

[Verse 1]
Now [Am]ain't [G]it strange that I [F]feel like Philby,
There's a stranger [E]in my [Am]soul
I'm lost in [G]transit in a [F]lonesome city
I can't come in [E]from [Am]the cold

[Verse 2]
[Am]I'm deep in ac[G]tion on a [F]secret
mission
[E]Contact's broken [Am]down
Time drags [G]by,
I'm [F]above suspicion,
There's a voice on the [E]telephone
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]Yeah, [F]yeah, yea[E]h. Yea[Am]h,
[G]yea[F]h, [E]yeah. [Am]2x
Well it sure is [G]dark in this [F]clockwork city
Con[E]tact's never [Am]gonna show
I've got [G]a code which can[F]'t be broken,

[Verse 4]
My [F]eyes [E]never seem
[Am]to close
Well, I'm standing [G]here
in the si[F]lent city
Shadows [E]falling [Am]down
I'm disconnec[G]ted but I [F]don't need pity,

[Verse 5]
[F]The night's gonna [E]burn on [Am]slow.
[G]Yeah, [F]yea[E]h, yea[Am]h. Yeah,[G]
[F]yea[E]h, yea[Am]h. 2x
Now ain't it [G]funny that I [F]feel like Philby,
A stranger on a [E]foreign [Am]shore.

[Verse 6]
I've [Am]got my [G]plans and I [F]must
move quickly,
There's a knock [E]upon [Am]the door.
Still in trans[G]it and I'm
[F]close to danger,
My cover [E]can't [Am]be blown,

[Verse 7]
It's [Am]getting [G]strange
and it's [F]getting crazy,
Tell me, what is [E]go ing [Am]on?
[G]Yeah, [F]yeah,
[E]yea[Am]h. Ye[G]ah, ye[F]ah, yeah[E]. 2x[Am][E]
Four o'clock and nothing's moving,

[Verse 8]
[F]Six o'clock and the daylight's stirring,
[C]Morning comes, must be moving [G]on.
[Em]All night [E]long my mind's
been burning,
[F]Makes me feel such a long, long way [G]from home,
