Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]I c[G]ame[A][F#m][A]
out [D]to this town
To seek [G]a new career
Or just [Bm]another [A]kind [G]of whirlwind[A]
[G]than one that brought me [A]here[D]
I stare up through the ceiling,
[G]past the plaster and the paint
[E]Consid[F#m]ering the[E] stars that shine and[A] flap
[G]and[F#m] fall before they're spe[A]nt

[Verse 2]
How could you [D]know?
My common senses have
[A]deserted [Am]me[D]
On certain [G]nights[D][G]
When other gentlemen [Gm]had courted me
[B]But in [Bm]the light of mo[F#]rning[Daug]
[D]They would turn to see me [Abdim]go

[Verse 3]
I've had [D]my moments[Gm]
But all too [D]few[Gm]
You think you [D]know [Gm]me
Maybe [D]you do

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
But in the light of [Daug]morning
You [D]will turn to see [Bm]me go[Abdim]
[D]Nothing's lost and no ones [G]won

[Verse 5]
[B]It's over now and now it's [Em]done[Edim]
I [D]may be [Daug]lying
This may be [D]true[Gm]
You think [D]you know me
[Gm]Maybe you do, maybe you do,[Daug]
[Gm]maybe you [D]do
