[Verse]

D A Bm G x 2

     D              A
In a village in the hills
                    Asus4           G
House buried to the window sills in snow
     D              A
In a prison yard at night
            Asus4                    G
An Alsatian barking for the stars to go 

       D          A 
In the attic of a house
                Asus4                        G 
In the slats of light which creep across the room
     D               A 
In a forest grove at dawn
          Asus4                       G
Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom 


[Chorus]

       Bb             Bm
On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo
   Bb                                      Bm
In Camden road in a second floor flat with Dilworth down below
         Bb              Bm
There is only one thing
Bb          A        D
   There is only one thing 


[Verse]

     D                     A
In a cancer ward where the patients sit
        Asus4        G
Waiting patiently to die
      D                A
In an aeroplane high above the place
    Asus4          G 
You finally left behind
 
     D               A    
In a cage where only one thing could be free
    Asus4            G
And it's not you and I
     D               A 
In a cage where only one thing could be free
    Asus4            G
And it's not you and I 


[Chorus]

   Bb                          Bm
In every single place that has ever ever been
  Bb                       Bm
Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between
         Bb
There is only one thing
         Bm             Bb A
There is only one thing

[Intro] 
(half time again, repeat four times again then straight into the verse)
  
    Dmaj7      Em   
One thing 


[Verse]

       D               A        Asus4         G
In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
       D            A             Asus4      G  
In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen
       D          A                          Asus4        G 
In the diary of a priest, in the sheets that lie upon his bed
    D                 A         Asus4               G
Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head 


[Chorus]

         Bb
There is only one thing
         Bm
There is only one thing
         Bb
There is only one thing
         Bm
There is only one thing
         Bb
There is only one thing 
         Bm
There is only one thing 
Bb          A        
   There is only 
    N.C.
one thing

Em7 G D x 2

Em7                          G               D
20 years of sleep before we sleep... forever
Em7                          G               D
20 years of sleep before we sleep... forever
Em7                            G               D
10 years on the coast figuring out the weather
        Em7             
Another decade getting high
             G
until you're free
                D
There's nothing after that but you and I

Nothing after that buy you and me
Em7                          G                D
20 years of sleep before we sleep... forever
Em7                          G                D
20 years of sleep before we sleep... forever
