Nifkin's Bridge by The Bluetones
-----------------
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet
B-side from the single "Marblehead Johnson". This is a rather nice
acoustic number which goes more+more electric as the song goes.

Truth has no rhyme, it has no reason

Coz it's mooooooooooo- ving awaaaaay from you
'Cos it's moving away from you
'Cos it's moving away
Verse 2: (same progression as verse1)
--------
It's strange the way the years have left no mark on you
But stolen all the fight within you
Where is the child that was to teach us how to fly
Now her dream cannot begin to
Chorus 2:(same as chorus 1)
---------
Is she moving away from you?
Is she moving away?

Verse 3: (same as verse 1)
--------
A thousand nameless roads have taken me away
Miles of fallen rain behind me
And though you know I'm just a phone number away
I wonder if you'll ever find me

'Cos I'm moving away from you
I am moving away
'Cos I'm moving away from you
I am moving away
