[Intro]
E - G - D - B

[Verse 1]
A             B                E
He was just a young boy in the city
A                  B                  E
Clouds of smoke he sought to find his dreams
A                   B               E*        E/Eb   C#m B
Swayed hair and his pipe he walked through the white city
A                    B               E
The hows-your-father bookies run the scene

[Verse 2]
A                 B              E
She was just a young girl in the city
A               B             E
Struggling with life love and money
A                   B                   E E/B C#m   B
Weaving through the streets and looking so so pretty
A                     B              E
The rummest sort Stockwell had ever seen
A                     B              F      G
The rummest sort Stockwell had ever seen... seen

[Chorus]
A             F           G             E
I've spent my days in the haze with the iceman
A             F       G            E
I've spent my nights wondering the wards
A             F           G             E
I've spent my days in the haze with the iceman
A     F      G                   E       
It means the iceman is always on call

[Verse 3]
A                         B         E
She started work on the last day of November
A                    B             E
Spilling drinks in a seedy cabaret show
A                 B              E* E/Eb C#m -
He met her on the first day of December
B         A               B             E
Outside a bookshop on the Charing Cross road

[Verse 4]
A                          B              E
Those winter nights they'd walk along the river
A                          B               E
He'd chain-smoke and she'd stare up at the sky
             A          B          E    E/Eb   C#m
And say this life, this love, this river has to end
    A             B            E
But just for now we have all the time
A             B              F       G
Just for now we have all the time... time

[Bridge]
A                F           G             E
Don't spent your days in the haze with the iceman
A                F       G            E
Don't spent your nights wondering the wards
A                F           G             E
Don't spent your days in the haze with the iceman
A   F     G         E       
It means nothing at all

Don't spent your nights wondering the wards

Don't spent your days in the haze with the iceman
A   F     G         E       
It means nothing at all

[Outro]
B               A            E
Just for now we have all the time
B               A            E
Just for now we have all the time
