Bedsitter Images Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The [Dm]subwa[E]y[Am][E][Am]
station's closed again
[C]Sleeps beneath its veil of rain
[D]My footprints' broken trail behind
[F]Steals the nightlights from my mind

[Verse 2]
[Am]The dark deserted streets then clear
[C]Today has lived and died in here
[D]So I leave the chapel gloom
To [F]find the shelter of my tiny room
[Am]

[Verse 3]
But it's al[F]right while the [G]lights
of the [C]city shine so [D]bright
It's [F]all right till the [G]last winding
[C]train fades from [E]sight
Then [F]alone in my [G]room I
must [C]stay to lose or [D]win
While these [Am]wild [C]bedsitter images come
[D]back to hem me [Am]in

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][E][Am][E][Am]

[Verse 4]
The [Am]panelled patterns on the door
Chase [C]shivering shadows to the floor
[D]Upon the pillow worn and thin
The [F]memories of hopes begin
The [Am]carpet with its flowers
and shredding
[C]Spires a foot before my bed
The [D]crack that won't return again
Ad[F]vancing through my
broken window pan[Am]e

[Verse 5]
But it's al[F]right while the [G]lights
of [C]the city shine so [D]bright
It's [F]all right till the [G]last winding
[C]train fades from [E]sight
Then [F]alone in my [G]room I
must [C]stay to lose or [D]win
While these [Am]wild [C]bedsitter images come
[D]back to hem [Am]me in

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][E][Am][E][Am]

[Verse 6]
The [Am]friends I've left back home all write
With [C]laughing words that
warm my sight
[D]Saying, Tell us, how's the city life
[F]I reply and say just fine
(Oh, you must be something)
[Am]And so you see I can't go back
[C]Until I either win or crack
I'm [D]standing in a one way street
[F]The stage is set
(Oh, now you're set)
The story incomplete
[Am]

[Verse 7]
But it's al[F]right while the [G]lights
of [C]the city shine so [D]bright
It's al[F]right till the [G]last winding
[C]train fades from [E]sight
Then [F]alone in my [G]room I must
[C]stay to lose or [D]win
While these [Am]wild [C]bedsitter images
come [D]back to hem me [Am]in

[Outro 1]
[G][C][D][Am]
