| Esus4 | E | Eadd2 | E/Eb | E(2) | C#m | B | D | A | A(1) | C# |
Esus4 E Esus4 E
Esus4 E Eadd2 E
I'm never as lonely as when you're around
Esus4 E E/Eb C#m B
That distant ringing, an empty sound
D A E Esus4 E
Of a broken bell tower's drafty shutters
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
The peeling paint in the Church Street gutters
Esus4 E Eadd2 E
I ran through the rain of that time I forgot
Esus4 E E/Eb C#m B
The streetlights misting on foggy carts
D A E Esus4 E
Through the wind that falls from the skies to the bells
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
Through the streets ringing late only time will tell
D C# A Esus4 E
If you are as lonely as I when I see your face
Esus4 E E/Eb C#m B
Our lonely "hello" and our empty embrace
D A E Esus4 E
An intimate moment for your sadness and my shivers
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
To signal hello across tears turned to rivers
Esus4 E Esus4 E
A prayer for the lovers beneath the stars and the moon
Esus4 E Esus4 E
The palm trees and the bay breeze of a graveyard's croon
A(1)
A lament for the eyes full of gaze and swoon
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
Taken by the charm of the holy city
Esus4 E Eadd2 E
I'm never as lonely as when you're around
Esus4 E E/Eb C#m B
I see your face all over this town
D A E Esus4 E
And the steeples that point with an accusing finger
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
To the skies where the scent of loss tends to linger
D C# A Esus4 E
To the color of brick that blushed in your arms
Esus4 E E/Eb C#m B
To the sleepy serenade of a Sunday school song
D A E Esus4 E
All of these things, but the bells most of all
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
Remind me that memories of you are easy to recall
Esus4 E Esus4 E
A prayer for the lovers beneath the stars and the moon
Esus4 E Esus4 E
The palm trees and the bay breeze of a graveyard's croon
A(1)
A lament for the eyes full of gaze and swoon
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
Taken by the charm of the holy city
Esus4 E Esus4 E
A prayer for the lovers beneath the stars and the moon
Esus4 E Esus4 E
The palm trees and the bay breeze of a graveyard's croon
A(1)
A lament for the eyes full of gaze and swoon
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
Taken by the charm of the holy city
Esus4 E Esus4 E
A prayer for the lovers beneath the stars and the moon
Esus4 E Esus4 E
The palm trees and the bay breeze of a graveyard's croon
A(1)
A lament for the eyes full of gaze and swoon
E/Eb E(2) E/Eb E(2) Esus4 E
Taken by the charm of the holy city
Esus4 E Esus4 E
