Intro

G D6 Asus4 E x2

Verse 1

I wander the lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow.
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run for.

Bridge

In every man, in every hand,
In every kiss you understand,
That living is for other men,
I hope you too understand...

Verse 2

I've got to tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand?
These feelings should not be in the man.

Bridge

In every child, in every eye,
In every sky above my head...
I hope that I know,
So come with me in bed.

Chorus

Because its you and me we're history
There ain't nothing left to say
When I...will get you alone...

Verse 3

Maybe we could find a room?
Where we could see what we should do...
Maybe you know its true?
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.

Bridge

In every man, in every hand,
In every kiss you understand,
That living is for other men,
I hope you know that I am me...

Chorus

So come on, I'm thinking about history,
And I'm living for history,
And I think you know I'm bound for you,
Cause I am...

Bridge

And one and one is two, but three is company
When you're thinking about the things you do,
And you're thinking about the things you do...

Verse 4

I wanna tell you my tale...
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...
Do you understand?
There's more in a smile that in a hand.

Bridge

In every sky, in every kiss
There's one thing that you've might have missed
Oh, why am I going to a place that now belongs to you?

Chorus

But you and me, and so am I
Lets make it up
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?
Don't dream away your life...

Middle 8

Cause it is mine...
It is mine...
Is that a crime?
Is that a crime?
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
Oh, the bed ain't made,
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
