Well, it's late at night.
A
B
There's nobody around.
A
Just the sounds of the cars
G#m
F#m
F#
E
Upon the asphalt ground.
It's the waiting time,
B
When the hours grow still.
A
I gaze on through the glass
E
F#m
Inside my windowsill.
E
Though I know that you must be
B
Somewhere in this world,
A
In this place where, at birth,
E
F#m
B
You and I were both hurled,
E

B
To think that we once were relating
A

Is a thing that has almost grown foreign

to me.

A
E
It's a bad sight,
A
B
Such a terrible waste,
A
E
To spend your time talking
A
F#m
E
In such bad taste.
It's the same old line,
B
Though it's not you I blame.
A
It's your teachers and television
E
A
F#m
E
That you put to shame.
The night's lasting longer
B
Because I've filled my head
A
With the things I could have done
E
A
B
And the words I could have said.
E
B
But, in truth, I was only spectating
A
And that's a permanent

part of reality.

So many

So many petty crimes

And you don't feel a need

Verse 4
E
Now the room's started
filling
With the dawn's early light
A
And the end has arrived
G#m

Of this long night.
I turn off the television
B
E
B
And I hit the bed
A
G#
While your shade is still haunting
E
My ever- vulnerable head.
And there's no use
B
In trying to compromise
A
G#
When the kindest things we say are
F#
B
when we tell eachother lies
E
But it's time I should quit
A
B
my complaining
A
E
A
And behave with a little more dignity.

So many
