[Verse 1]
[C]On[G]
[C][G]
[C][G]
[C][G]
[C][G][Am][G]
[C]a n[Am]ight[G]
[C]like
this I deserve to get kissed [G]at least once or twice
You come [C]over to my place screaming blue murder,
needing [G]someplace to hide.
Well, [C]I wish you'd keep quiet,
Imaginations run ri[G]ot,
In [Am]these pa[G]per- thin walls.
And when [C]the place comes ablaze
with a thousand dropped names
[G]I don't know who to call.
But I got [Bm]a friend over there in
the government block
And [G]he [C]knows the situation
and he's taking stock,
I think I'll [D]call him up now
Put him on the spot,

[Interlude 1]
tonight.
[D][C][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
They saw me [C]there in the square when
I was shooting my mouth off
About [G]saving some fish.
Now could [C]that be construed as some
radical's views [G]or some liberals' wish.
And it's [Bm]so hot outside,
And the air is so sweet,
And when the pres[C]sure drop is heavy
I don't wanna hear you speak.
You know most [D]killing is
committed at 90 degrees.
When it's too hot to breathe
And it's too hot to think.

[Verse 3]
There's always [G]someone looking at you.
S- [C]s- [D]s- s- someone.
[G]They're looking at you.

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 4]
And I wish [G]you'd stop [C]whispering.
Don't flatter yourself,
[G]nobody's listening.
Still it [C]makes me nervous,
those things [G]you say.
You may as well
[C]Shout it from the roof
Scream it from your lungs
[G]Spit it from you mouth
It could [C]fall on deaf ears to
indulge in your fears
There's [D]a spy in the sky
There's a noise on the wire
There's a tap on the line
And for every paranoid's desire...

[Verse 5]
There's always [G]Someone looking at you.
[C]S- [D]s- s- s- som[G]eone looking at you...
[C][D][G][C][D][G]
[C][D][G][C]
They're [D]always [G]loo[C]king[D][G]
[C]at [D]you[G].

[Outro 1]
