Intro : G
G
you know sometimes
when we're lying together
and I know you're asleep
I can hear the soft sound of your breathing
so I get up
and I go to the window
outside I can see all the houses
curtains shut tight against the night
asleep beneath the rooftiles
and as I stand there I wonder
I wonder how many more times
I'm gonna come here
I wonder how many more times
I'm gonna lie here
But most of all
Most of all I wonder
I wonder what it means
Riff (G Bm Gmaj7 Bm)
I just wonder what it means
So I woke her
and we went walking through the sleeping town
down deserted streets
frozen gardens grey in moonlight
fences down to the canal
creeping slowly past the cooling towers
deserted factories
looking for an adventure
I wandered the streets calling your name
jumping walls
hoping to see a light in your window
let me in
let me come in
let me in tonight
oh, I see you shivering in the garden
silver gooseflesh in the moonlight
oh, she's balancing
there are so many others
with unbroken eyes
no cellulite afternoons
and she is balancing
balancing on the edge of ugliness tonight
she's balancing
Good God!
G
My legendary girlfriend
Dm
She is crying tonight
Bm
Oh no she doesn't feel right
Dm
She's got no-one to hold
G
Her love is a sham
Dm
He is dancing somewhere
Bm
Oh no, he doesn't care
Dm
Oh, and he'll never know
touch me
now
I wanna
I don't care
'cos tonight
maybe we can
touch the sky
d'you think we can
touch the sky
please
I know
it's not forever
but tonight I don't care
your skin is so pale in the moonlight
and the way your lips swell up when you're asleep
nothing else matters
do you know how much I want you?
can you feel how much I want you?
Oh
Pitsmoor Woman
oh, oh let
oh let me in tonight
My legendary girlfriend
She is crying tonight
Oh no she doesn't feel right
She's got no-one to hold
Her love is a sham
He is dancing somewhere
Oh no, he doesn't care
Oh, and he'll never know

And all the stars came out tonight
Dm
And the moon came on its face
Bm
It shone right through the clothes she wore
Dm
It shone right through the dress she wore
Good God
Oh, y'know, listen, please, oh
I just wanna
I just wanna
He falls to sleep again
No... she... she's... tonight
She knows
My legendary girlfriend
She is crying tonight
Oh no she doesn't feel right
She's got no-one to hold
Her love is a sham
He is dancing somewhere
Oh no, he doesn't care
Oh, and he'll never know
And all the stars came out tonight
And the moon came on its face
It shone right through the clothes she wore
It shone right through the dress she wore
And the sun and the moon
And the stars all came down today
Oh please love me tonight
Good God now!
