[Verse 1]
[Am]Each [C]morning [G]after [Am]Sunblest
Feel the benefit, [C]men[G]tal arithmetic
I waited [Am]by th[G]e [D]staf[E]f
[Am]room[G][D][G][Em][Am][C][D]
[E]In [Am]time [C]fo[D]r be[E]
[Am]nediction[C]
Living [D]a law [E]just[Am]
[C]short [D]of delusion
[Em]When [Am]we fa[C]ll[D] in love
[E]there's [Am]confusion[C][D][E]
This [Am]must [C]be [D]the[E] pl[Am]ace
[C]I waited years [D]to leave
[E]To our voices [Em]nobody's

[Verse 2]
[Am]
[G]lis[D]ten[E]ing[Am]
[G]We [D]shi[E]ver in[Am]
the rain [G]by the [Am]touchline
[E]Then [Am]a coa[G]ch ride [C]to the station
"My lord, [Em]the carriage
[Am]awai[C]teth!"
Living [D]a l[E]aw just short
[Am]of delus[C]ion
[D]When we fall in love there's [E]confusion
[Am]This must [C]be the place I waited
[D]years to leave
This must be [E]the [Am]place [C]I
[D]waited [E]years to leave
[Am]And how
[C]How long?

[Verse 3]
I'm listening [D]to the words I
[E]thought I'd never hear [Am]again
A litany of [C]saints [D]and[E]
[Am]other ordinary men
Kneeling [C]on [G]the[C][Am][D][Am][C][Am]
[F]parquet[G][Am][C][G][E][Am][G][C]
[G]Whatever [Am]has g[C]on[D]e wrong?
[E]The fear and [Am]feeling
hopelessness
I don't want [C]to belong

[Verse 4]
I [D]dreamt I [E]was [Am]back [C]in
[D]uniform
[E]And a candidate [Am]for examination
His[C]tory, someone had [D]blundered
And a voice [E]rapped[Em]
[Am]"knuckle under!"
[C]Living [D]a law just short of del[E]usion
[Am]When we [C]fall [D]in [E]love
[Am]ther[C]e's confusio[D]n
[E]This must [Am]be the place
[C]I waited [D]years to [E]leave
[Em]This must [Am]be the place I
[C]waited years to leave
And how
And how
How long?
