D       Bm       G       D


[Verse 1]
          D                          Bm
Theres a town that I know where a wild wind blows
       G           A       D
From across those channel waves
            D                    Bm
Where they drink all night and closing time's
          G                   D
When the band's too drunk to play


[Pre-chorus 1]
          D
Theres a cafe there
      Bm
That time has spared
           G                D
From these raging changing times
         Bm                   A                G
And the waitress there just seems to blow my mind

[Chorus 1]

       D               Bm
Don't talk about the future
        G             D
We got everything we need
        Bm           A
In the cold of the night
      G      A       D
I saw lights on the beach

[Verse 2]
     D                        Bm   
Well I know a bar where the devils all are
          G      A      D
Where the aces turn to jacks
         D                        Bm
There's tales and laughter in the smoking shelter
         G                      D
And the clock where they always sat

[Pre-chorus 2]
D                               Bm
I know a basement room where the whisky and tune
G               D
Plays until the dawn
    Bm                     A              G
We smoked a hole through every midnight storm

[Chorus 2]
            D              Bm
Just don't talk about the future
G                  D
Who knows what it means
       Bm            A
In the cold of the night
       G     A       D
I saw lights on the beach

[Pre-chorus 3]
          D                          Bm
Theres a town that I know where a wild wind blows
       G        A       D
From off those Goodwin Sands
     Bm              A             G
The sun was almost ready for the day
   Bm                  A              G
I left that house and headed for the hay

[Chorus 3]
       D               Bm
Don't talk about the future
G             A          D
As I walk through these streets
        Bm           A
In the cold of the night
       G     A       D
I saw lights on the beach
