Verse:
------
I stood in this unsheltered place
'Til I could see the face behind the face
Bm/G A D
All that had gone before had left no trace
  
Chorus:
-------
Down by the railway siding
  
In our secret world, we were colliding
  
All the places we were hiding love
    
What was it we were thinking of?
   

verse

So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air

chorus

Did you think I didn't have to choose it
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?

verse

In this house of make believe
Divided in two like Adam and Eve
You put out and I receive

chorus

Bridge:
-------

D bass riff

Oh the wheel it is turning spinning round and round
  
And the house it is crumbling but the stairways stand
  
..........................
  
With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
  
Whatever it is, we are all the same
  
Making it up in our secret world
  
Making it up in our secret world
  
Making it up in our secret world
  
Shaking it up
  
Breaking it up
  
Making it up in our secret world
   

verse

Seeing things that were not there
On a wing, on a prayer
In this state of disrepair

chorus

Ssh, listen....
End Section:
------------
D G/D D, C/D G/D D
