Verse 1
 
A#   F   D# 
  50:50, 1 to 1 
          Cm            A# 
Leave the television on 
F 
I've heard it sing to me 
A#                   Dm 
It sounds like London 
               D# 
All parking cars and tiny men 
Cm                 A# 
Rolling round again 
 
F 
Never take your eyes off 
A#      F            D# 
Naked photographs: a breast I'll never have 
Cm                      A# 
It's calling out my name 
F 
A syllable you shout 
         D# 
When you need someone to doubt you 
 
Pre-Chorus
         A#               Cm 
But I've heard it before 
              Gm 
I've heard it before 
   D#               Dm 
It sings the same, it's just another name 
        A#                     Cm 
You'll write down on your list 
                    Gm 
It's the loveliest kind 
                F 
You'll never be mine 
                   D# 
So you'll never be alone again 
Dm 
Alone again 
 
Chorus
A# 
Sanity's calling 
   F                              D# 
He knows I'm sitting proud on the edge 
     A# 
And Julia's waiting 
       F                     D#    Dm 
She's got her hand up in my head 
         Cm 
But I'm nearly up in heaven 
                      Gm          F   D# 
It'll keep on coming round again 
 
The words don't change 
         Dm                A# 
But the song's never gonna be the same

        Cm                  A# 
Cut the figure of your son 
        F 
When he sees you without clothes on 
A#              F 
It sounds like Liphook 
             D# 
All singing birds and absent men 
Cm                   A# 
Rolling around again 
F 
Never take your eyes off 
 
A#               F                      D# 
That photograph, a touch I'll never have 
Cm                          A# 
Now it's crying out my name 
F 
A syllable you scream

When you need someone to dream you up

I've heard it before

You'll write down on your list 
                   Gm
