G   C  Em   C
Oh you, old thing.
G             F     Em        Eb
Still got vibrations in your streets.
G     C       Em      D               C
They move me to come down from the chandelier
               D
I have been watching you from.

G    C  Em    C
Bon soir, bon soir ma ville.
G          F                    Em      Eb
I’m gonna leave you now in the arms of babes.
G           C             Em             D                C
I’ve got a new way to live through the storms you’re so famous for
                 D
Oh, that’s the sound of some new rocket upon the door.

Eb C x4

Eb                              C
Who’s gonna steam up all your dance halls?
Eb                           C
Who’ll put your lilies in a vase,
Eb                          C
when all the good men have had all their daughters, and
Eb                       C
all the other men have fallen in with daises?
Bb                                 Gm
I don’t want to be the last one standing,
Bb                               Gm
I don’t want to reach the bitter end.
Bb                                    Gm
As much as I have always loved your dancing,

I hate the sounds that come from crowds
      C
that just don’t get my moves.

G     C  Em        C
From here, in the sky,
G      F           Em       Eb     G
I see rows of lights as a violent web.
          C   Em           D         C
And I will miss the way I got caught up in you.

G           C
I’ve got a new way to live
Em       C   G         F
In the storm, in the storm
Em       Eb
In the storm.
