Intro: Em - D - C (x3) - G

 G         D         C      Please send me a sign
           G               BAnd set me up against the rain
             Em       D      CAnd give me something I can trust
            DIn all the drama of change

 G     D          C    I followed a dream
          G              BAnd if a man is born to fall
             Em     D        CThen let me live against my creed
             DIn all the filth of it all


           C        G And I can drink my whiskey and water
         B        EmAnd fix folly in peace
               C      Cos there's a price you pay 
    G                           DTo live this way, its called a release



 G          D        C   Please drop me a line
             G              BAnd send me love and sun to boot
          Em   D        CCos I am idle drunk and well 
          DBusy with nothing to do

 G       D       C    This body is cold
           G              BI have to make the grade alone
            Em       D      CCos I have traveled far to find
          DI need a room of my own



        CWhere I can 
        GBreak kindly with Fortune
     B                  EmCos she's something to be
               C               G   She's spending Saturdays in the Baltic
         DWith the SSP

       C          GAnd I am charged guilty as sin
         B              Em Because it hurts me to know
             CThat she is working so hard
    G                DBut for the joy of stock control



Instrumental verse:
G - D - C - G - B
Em - D - C - D - C - G



         G      D        CBut let me sing out to myself
            G                 BAnd polish off these bottled cries
              Em       D       CAnd send them down to Saville Row
             DCos I'm not ready to die

  G         D        CBut I, I'm ready to live
       G                B       Can I make it out with pride
          Em       D         C     Play the left wing let down king
               DPut out there something to hide



     C         G          And I can run to you for cover and 
  B             EmWe'll bury the dread
              C                 GAnd when the time has come for leaving
        DI will love you instead

         C          GOh won't you sing something in minor key
 B                 EmThis stillness is bleak
             C              G  Oh could we dream away the guilt 
                 DWe have for the working week

              C               Goh and in the warm arms of a stranger I'm
 B           Em Too happy to lie
              C              GI know we've both been here before
                 D Just please don't ask me why

      CAnd I have
        GWalked here with you close to me
 B         EmBut never alone
                C                 GBut won't you cling to me in the major key
            DAll the joy I've known 
            CAll the joy I've known 
         G        COh  the joy I've known (x4)
   G       C  Lalalala-lalala (x3)
       GLalala la
