- [Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]

-
- Repeat main riff twice for each line of the verses:
- [D] [D] [C] [C] [G/B] [G/B] [Bb] [C]
-
- In the white room with black curtains near the station.
- Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
- Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
- Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.
-
- I'll [C] wait in this [G] place where the [Bb] sun never [A] shines;
- [C] Wait in this [G] place where the [Bb] shadows [C] run from [D] themselves.
-
- You said no strings could secure you at the station.
- Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
- I walked into such a sad time at the station.
- As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.
-
- I'll [C] wait in the [G] queue when the [Bb] trains come [A] back;
- [C] Lie with [G] you where the [Bb] shadows [C] run from [D] themselves.
-
- [Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]
- [Gm] [F] [Dm] [C] [Am7]
-
- At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
- Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
- Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
- She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
-
- I'll [C] sleep in this [G] place with the [Bb] lonely [A] crowd;
- [C] Lie in the [G] dark where the [Bb] shadows [C] run from [D] themselves.
-
- [Gm] [F] [Dm] [C]
- [Gm] [F] [Dm] [C] [Am7]
