Bb              F                  Eb
When everyone's gone, the quiet returns
              F
Just passing through little hurricane
Bb       F                         Eb
A melody comes, it plays and it's gone
          F                   Eb
After the storm everything is still
               F
And there's no conversation
Eb           F
I'll talk to myself if I have to

Bb           F                  Eb
Another high street, another hotel
            F
Language is wrong, walking off beat
Bb            F                Eb
And after all the pretty girls leave
            F
Who will be here to amuse you so

C               G                  F
You'll never be quite sure when to stop
         G
How many miles till the penny drops
C                G
You're taking me back
                F
Your east block flat
            G
How will my heart ever get that

[Bridge]
F               G
There's nothing here
              F
Just concrete shapes
              G
I look to the left and I tell you

[Chorus]
F       G
English architecture
C      A
Is far away
F         Dm            Bb
Maybe I'm waiting for a bell to ring
  G           F
A symphony to play
        G               C
Take my shoes away from me
           A
And I will stay
F               Dm           Bb
Or I could just lie here and fantasise
G                    Bb
I'm really somewhere else

[Verse 2]
Bb           F            Eb
Another town another high street
          F
Languages roll walking off beat
Bb            F                Eb
And after all the pretty girls leave
            F
Who will be here to amuse you so

C               G                 F
When everyone's gone, the quiet returns
             G
Just passing through little hurricane
C        G                        F
A melody comes, it plays and it's gone
          G
After the storm everything is still

[Bridge]
F               G
And there's no conversation
F            G
I'll talk to myself if I have to
F
Now

[Chorus]
F           G
And English architecture
C      A
Is far away
F         Dm            Bb
Maybe I'm waiting for a bell to ring
G             F
A symphony to play
        G               C
Take my shoes away from me
           A
And I will stay
F               Dm           Bb
Or I could just lie here and fantasise
G
That nothing's gonna change
