This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 2

=======

She took her mother's car to get away from me

Heaven knows that I, I can sympathize

Oh I can sympathize

For we were never close if the truth were told

All we ever shared was a taste in clothes

Oh we were never close

We were simply losing everything

Underneath the cruellest London sun
