Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[Bm][D][Bm][D][C][Bm]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[D]I saw him turn on
Like a machine in the park
Saying please come with me
But you've [C]been there be[Bm]fore[G]
[D]I saw him [Bm]whirr [D]away
Into the night
[Em]Like a [D]nightmare on wheels
Saying [C]never [Bm]again
[G]I'd

[Verse 2]
give it all up for [D]you
I'd [F]even be a number
just for [C]you
[G]The strangest living boy
[F]You could ever [Em]wish to [Eb]see[D]
[G]`That's[Bm][G]
[D]me'
Yellowed news[Em]papers
[D]Tell the story [Bm]of someone[D]
`Do you know this [Bm]man?'
[D]Tomor[C] row th[Bm]e cure[G]
[D]Only po[Bm]lice [D]ever
See night time for real
Turn on the light
And cry [C]no more, no [Bm]more
[G]I was

[Verse 3]
standing outside your [D]door
[F]Waiting for the grey men to [C]go
When my [G]mind turned on me
With a ven[F]geance I [Em]had never k[Eb]nown
[D]My [G]own[D][C]
[D][G][D]
[G][D]
[G][D]
[G][Bm][G]
[D]Everyone heard
The voice on the radio
Saying `why move around
[G]And waste [Bm]my t[G]ime'
There are no
Independ[D]ents any[G]more
[D]The tape is a circle
But [G]who really [Bm]cares
[G]I saw

[Verse 4]
you behind the [D]wall
I [F]even heard you laugh at [C]me
You dis[G]gust me tonight
With your [F]answer [Em]to something [Eb]new
[D]That's you

[Outro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D]
