Am              G
Close your eyes and go to sleep
                  Fmaj7               Em
From the howling, howling over these streets,
               Am                     G
'Cause people stare, 'cause you're so mad
              Fmaj7                  Em
That wild, wild spark, that innocent laugh

Refrain:
                 Am
But baby, that's this town,
                G
It won't happen next time
                  Fmaj7
Yeah, baby that's this town
           Em
Lovers on love downs,
                     Am     G   /  Fmaj7   /  Em
It's this town to be blamed

                  Am              G
At the top of the block there's a church
                  Fmaj7           Em
At the top of the tower there's a clock
       Am           G
And it rings and it sighs
               Fmaj7                 Em
'Cause there's no time for all these lies

                 Am
But baby, that's this town,
                G
It won't happen next time
                  Fmaj7
Yeah, baby that's this town
           Em
Lovers on love downs,
                     Am    G   /    Fmaj7   /  Em 
It's this town to be blamed

(Picking)
            Am               G
Baby take a walk round to my house
Fmaj7                          Em
Throw off these tired eyes and tears and these frowns
          Am               G
Take that lane so narrow and deep
               Fmaj7                  Em
And walk those regrets that fill your sleep
                      Am                        G
You say your sleep is naked but your dreams are clothed
                Fmaj7                    Em
What about your footsteps, who sees them go?
             Am               G
Who lets you know about these things?
            Fmaj7             Em
Who's gonna say the things we think?
             Am                 G
So take your keys and pack your bags
               Fmaj7                Em
But leave your books and leave your maps

(Bang it out - go mad) 

                Am
But baby, that's this town,
                G
It won't happen next time
                  Fmaj7
Sure, baby that's this town
           Em
Lovers on love downs,
                     Am
It won't happen next time

    Am
Sure baby, that's this town,
                G
It won't happen next time
                  Fmaj7
Yeah, baby that's this town
           Em
Lovers on love downs,
                     Am        G
It's this town to be blamed
                     Fmaj7     Em
It's this town to be blamed
                     Am        G   /  Fmaj7   /  Em
It's this town to be blamed
Am
Work, work, work
G
Rain, rain, rain
Fmaj7
Home, home, home

Again, again, again       (This chords sequence repeats and fades so ad lib)

Work, work, work
And a rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again

Work, work, work
Rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again

It's work, work, work
And the, rain, rain, rain

Again, again, again

It's work, work, work
And the rain, rain, rain
Your home, home, home
Again, again, again

It's, work, work, work
Rain, rain, rain
Home, home, home
Again, again, again

Work, work, work
And the rain, rain, rain
Your home, home, home
Again, again, again
