I've been ^Bm7too long travelling on your ^Etrain.^Esus4 ^E

Verse: You tried your best to strangle me, but I could take the pain, You tried to hypnotise me, but I see right through your game, And now your tatty tricks to me seem really rather tame, I've been too long travelling on your train. Chorus:

^Amaj7City lights don't shine, they ^Bm7/Aglare And your ^Amaj7music doesn't speak, it ^Bm7/Aswears,

^DmAnd in your streets the ^Cgirls have for^Ggotten why they're there.

Repeat intro: Verse: Someday soon I know I'm going miles and miles away, Back to the garden where the magic children play, And to the country lady who knows more than I can say, Whose night shines brighter than your day. Chorus: City lights don't shine, they glare And your music doesn't speak, it swears, And in your streets the girls have forgotten why they're there. A... (repeat to fade).
