[Verse 1]
GHey there tragic one CI saw your ghost in BmKensington 
CThe sly sentry of the Bmalleyway TChe wounded soldier from the Gbad old days  D  
And it tEmook me somewhere CI haven't been for yBmears and years 
COld appetites like sBmouvenirs CI turned around, you disGappeared  D/F#  
Into a stEmreet steCeped in silGence DA Emsweet Cpeace Gand quiet  D/F#  
[Verse 2]
GThe lights never go down A thousanCd shooting stars in BmChinatown 
CReflected in your eyes Bmelectric-blue CA kiss lingers like a Gdeja-vu  D  
But all the Emlovers crash CAnd echo under the ovBmerpass 
CThey lie pinned beneath their mBmemories CA million colliding Gdestinies  D/F#  
Stain the Emstreet, Cpierce the GsilDence Awe the EmsweeCt peace and quGiet  D/F#  
[Bridge]
CWe cursed a dishrag sky WGe vowed to change the weather 
CYou donned your widest eyes I Gsaid never say never 
CAnd even though we lied WGe swore we'd sD/F#tay this way foreEmver

Is it fGunny how YoCu seem just like a rBmumour now? 
CA conversation that I Bmoverheard TChe frail echo of a fGoreign word  D/F#

D/F#

[Intro]

(PM Palm mute)

G ( 4 bars)

[Verse 1]

G C Bm

Hey there tragic one I saw your ghost in Kensington

C Bm C G D

The sly sentry of the alleyway The wounded soldier from the bad old days

Em C Bm

And it took me somewhere I haven't been for years and years

C Bm C G D/F#

Old appetites like souvenirs I turned around, you disappeared

Em C G D Em C G D/F#

Into a street steeped in silence A sweet peace and quiet

[Verse 2]

G C Bm

The lights never go down A thousand shooting stars in Chinatown

C Bm C G D

Reflected in your eyes electric-blue A kiss lingers like a deja-vu

Em C Bm

But all the lovers crash And echo under the overpass

C Bm C G D/F#

They lie pinned beneath their memories A million colliding destinies

Em C G D Em C G D/F#

Stain the street, pierce the silence Awe the sweet peace and quiet

[Bridge]

C G

We cursed a dishrag sky We vowed to change the weather

C G

You donned your widest eyes I said never say never

C G D/F# Em

And even though we lied We swore we'd stay this way forever

C G D Em C G D Em C G

Oh For----ev-----er, Oh Forever Oh foreverandeverandeverandeverand-everrrrrrrrr....

G ( 8 bars palm mute)

[Verse 3]

G C Bm

Is it funny how You seem just like a rumour now?

C Bm C G D/F#

A conversation that I overheard The frail echo of a foreign word

Em C Bm

Is it funny or sad? Sometimes we just walk away

C Bm C G D

No bittersweet rememberance day Why do you think that we do that?

Em C G D/F#

To defeat peace and quiet?

Em C G D/F#

To cheat peace and quiet?

Em C G D/F#

The sweet (you donned your widest eyes) Peace and quiet (I'll say never say never)

Em C G D/F#

The sweet (you donned your widest eyes) Peace and quiet (this time we'll change the weather)

[Outro]

Em C G D/F#

This time we'll get it right

Em C G D Em

(hold)

Oh oh oh, This time we'll get it right
