[Intro 1]
[A][D][Bm][D][A]
[Bm][D][A][Bm][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Her heart is [D]nearly breaking,
the earth is [Bm]nearly [D]quaking

[Verse 2]
The [D]Tokyo's taxi's braking,
it's screaming [A]to a halt

[Verse 3]
[G]And there's nothing to [A]hold on to[Bm]
when grav[G]ity betrays [A]you

[Verse 4]
And every [A]kiss enslaves
[D]you- [Bm]oo- o[D]o

[Verse 5]
She knows how hard her heart grows
under the [Bm]nuclear [D]shadows

[Verse 6]
She can't [D]escape the feeling
repeating [A]in her [G]head

[Verse 7]
When after [A]all the [Bm]urges some
kind of [G]truth [A]emerges

[Verse 8]
We felt the [A]deadly surges

[Verse 9]
[Bm]Dis [A]covering J[G]a pan-
[D]- a[A]n - - an

[Verse 10]
[A]Discovering [G]Ja [D]pan-
[A]- a[Bm]n - -[D] an

[Verse 11]
The GIs [D]only use her,
they only [Bm]ram right through [D]her

[Verse 12]
Giving an [D]eastern promise,
that they could [A]never keep

[Verse 13]
[G]Seeing a mil[A]lion miles,
[Bm]between their joke[G] and smiles

[Verse 14]
[A]She heard their hard deni
[D]als [do[Bm]n't pause]

[Verse 15]
As the tears dropped [Bm]sideways
down her [A]face, face

[Verse 16]
[Bm]I woke up talking in the tongue
[G]of a differ[A]ent race, race

[Verse 17]
And as the [Bm]flight touches down
my watch [G]says 8:02

[Verse 18]
But [F#m]that's midnight to you,
[Bm][D][A]

[Verse 19]
[A]Midnight to [Bm]you [D]Midi[A]ght to
[Bm]you[D][A][G][A][D]
I dreamed headlong collisions in jet
[Bm]lag [D]panavisions

[Verse 20]
I shouted [D]sayonara it didn't
[A]mean [G]goodbye

[Verse 21]
But lovers [A]turn to [Bm]posers show
up in [G]film [A]exposures

[Verse 22]
Just like in [A]travel brochures
[Bm]Dis [A]covering J[G]a [D]pan[A]
Discovering [G]Ja pan
