Verse 1
(E minor) The (C major) (B major) (E minor) (C major) (B major)
(E minor) streets of
(E major) pleasure took you (F sharp major) to top
But every light (B major) was red
and every sign said stop
(F sharp minor) I felt so (A major) confined,
(F sharp minor) just like glued (B major) to this spot, oh
(E major) Cause we were sleeping
in the (F sharp major) noon day sun
We escaped (B major) the test and
the marathon run (F sharp minor)
And no (A major) one heard (F sharp minor) and these
mournful (B major) cries of "Alfie!" (C sharp minor) (B major)
(A major) We put a stop to (C sharp minor) that (A major)
Whoa, (C sharp minor) but Alfie,
(A major) I wish you'd please come (C sharp minor) back (A major) (E major)

So (F sharp minor) no one's hurt,

But (B major) now there's nothing left except the
memories of (E minor) you
