[Intro 1]
[D][B][D][B][D][B][D][B]

[Verse 1]
[D]On the [B]roof,
[D]the chimneys [B]grin
[Gm]Smoking their pipe[Eb]s like[G]
[Gm]Bedouins [Eb]forev[D]er[Dm]
[B]The[D]re'[Dm]s no[B]thin[D]g[B]
now [D]but broken [B]glass
[G]Sharp [Gm]to the touch[Eb],
[G]noth[Gm]ing [Bbm]lasts
[Dm]Like Romeo, dressed in rags
[D]And[Dm] I'm danc[Ab]ing like[Fm] hell[Bbsus4]
[Bb]To the ring [Ab]of t[Fm]he be[Bbsus4]ll
[Bb]The [Dm]night is he[G]re,
[Gm]the ashes [Dm]fall down,
[Bb]I'm waiting for [C]you
like [Bb]a rose on the gro[A]und
in [Dm]Tim b[D]uktu.[B][D][B][D]
[B]Afternoons, my [D]arms a[B]re filled
[G]With [Gm]emptiness,
[Eb]my h[Gm]eart is stille[Eb]d
[Dm]Forever[B][D][Dm][B][D]
[B]Flowers sway [D]between
[B]the [G]cracks
Laughing [Gm]like [Eb]kids
[Gm]from the side of [C#dim]the track[C#]s
[Dm]Where [Bdim]love would sin[Dm]g
and saxophones [Ab]cried
[Fm]like [Ab]the wind[Bbsus4]
[Bb]From the [Ab]top o[Fm]f th[Ab]e hi[Bbsus4]ll[Bb]
[Dm]The night is h[G]ere, a[Gm]shes c[Dm]ome down
I'm [Bb]waiting, waiting for [C]you
Like a [Bb]rose on [A]the grounds
in [D]Timbuktu[B][D][B]
[Bb]You look a[C]s if m[Dm]y hand tr[C]embles
A [Bb]teacup [Dm]falls to the [B]floor[Dm][B][Dm][G][F#][Dm][G]
[B][F#][Dm][G][B][Dm][Bdim][B][Dm][B][Dm][G][B][Dm]
You
