Intro: [Cadd9] [D] [Em7] x4
To the cCadd9entre of the city where all roads meet, waiting fEm7or you,
To the dCadd9epths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching fEm7or you,
I was mCadd9oving through the silence without motion, waiting fEm7or you,
In a rCadd9oom with a window in the corner I found tEm7ruth.

Bridge:  [Cadd9] [Dsus4] [D] [Em7]
In the sCadd9hadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing Em7no more,
As the aCadd9ssassins all grouped in four lines, dancing oEm7n the floor,
And with cCadd9old streel, odour on their bodies made a move tEm7o connect,
But I cCadd9ould only stare in disbelief as the crowds aEm7ll left.
Bridge:  [Cadd9] [Dsus4] [D] [Em7]  x4
                      at 4th fret
I did Cadd9everything, everythiCadd9ng I wanteEm7d to,
I let Cadd9them use you for their oEm7wn ends,
To the cCadd9entre of the city in tDhe night, waiting for Em7you.
To the cCadd9entre of the city iDsus4n the nigDht, waiting for Em7you.

Bridge: [] [] [] []

Cadd9 Em7

In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,

Cadd9 Em7

As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,

Cadd9 Em7

And with cold streel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect,

Cadd9 Em7

But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.
