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]
