D
Riding through mist
         G          D
and pouring rain
D
thoughts turn to shadows
         G                   A
that drift with the scene
D
dank steaming towns
          G            D
and statues in macs
D
the boy in the window
        A                     D
the girl who stares back

D
By rivers of sorrow
       G               D
on bridges of steel
D
through clattering switches
          G                   A
and screeching of wheels
D
I brush away moisture
        G                         D
and peer through the glass
D
but see no tomorrow
             A                 D
for the man on the tracks

D
Cold condensation
         G                  D
and glowing red light
D
diffuse into music
        G             A
and softly-lit lives
D                  
dark misted woodlands
         G                D
and glimpses of sea
D
are signposts to you
        A                   D
and lost roads for me

Chorus

D
Torn between beds
G                 D
a girl and a boy
D
are coasting through sadness
        G                        A
and blasting through joy
D
fallen from heaven
         G                D
and destined for hell
D
all things to all men
       A                         D
no surprise when we fell

D
The station approaches
       G             D
the day is in sight
D
can’t think from which side
            G        A
of this car to alight
D
it’s kind of like fun
         G              D
the ambiguous kind
D
but where lies my heart?
         A                       D
and where runs my mind?

Chorus
