Verse:
------
I stood in this unsheltered place
D D/B
'Til I could see the face behind the face
Bm/G A D
All that had gone before had left no trace
D D/B
Chorus:
-------
Down by the railway siding
G D/Gb
In our secret world, we were colliding
G D/A
All the places we were hiding love
G A/Gb A D/B
What was it we were thinking of?
G A D
[verse]
So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air
[chorus]
Did you think I didn't have to choose it
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
[verse]
In this house of make believe
Divided in two like Adam and Eve
You put out and I receive
[chorus]
Bridge:
-------
[D bass riff]
Oh the wheel it is turning spinning round and round
D D
And the house it is crumbling but the stairways stand
D D
..........................
C/D D
With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
D D
Whatever it is, we are all the same
D D
Making it up in our secret world
C/D D
Making it up in our secret world
C/D D
Making it up in our secret world
C/D D
Shaking it up
C G
Breaking it up
C G
Making it up in our secret world
C G D
[verse]
Seeing things that were not there
On a wing, on a prayer
In this state of disrepair
[chorus]
Ssh, listen....
End Section:
------------
D G/D D, C/D G/D D
[repeat to end]
