EmOh well you look so reckless
GCool but your tone is careless
AShapes that the moonlight's making
CWho's got your hands shaking?
GEye through an ashtray and Byou my darling
[Pre-chorus]
EmBut this moonlight is not moonlight
GIt's electric, electric light
AmIt lands so soft in my bedroom
COn the carpet, and when you lie Gdown talking
I'm not listening
BI just think it's funny how we are
[Chorus]
GUnited, Emunited, Bmunited Don the carpet
GUnited, Emunited, Bmunited Donce again oh
[Verse 2]
EmThese houses along my street
GThey're so ugly staring down at me
AmThey hold meetings in the night time, they
Cspeak quietly they try to make me Gleave
They're laughing, I'm not listening
BI'm just thinking how good it will be when we are
