[Intro]
E - G - D - B
[Verse 1]
A B E
He was just a young boy in the city
A B E
Clouds of smoke he sought to find his dreams
A B E* E/Eb C#m B
Swayed hair and his pipe he walked through the white city
A B E
The hows-your-father bookies run the scene

[Verse 2]
A B E
She was just a young girl in the city
A B E
Struggling with life love and money
A B E E/B C#m B
Weaving through the streets and looking so so pretty
A B E
The rummest sort Stockwell had ever seen
A B F G
The rummest sort Stockwell had ever seen... seen
[Chorus]
A F G E
I've spent my days in the haze with the iceman
A F G E
I've spent my nights wondering the wards
A F G E
I've spent my days in the haze with the iceman
A F G E
It means the iceman is always on call

[Verse 3]
A B E
She started work on the last day of November
A B E
Spilling drinks in a seedy cabaret show
A B E* E/Eb C#m -
He met her on the first day of December
B A B E
Outside a bookshop on the Charing Cross road
[Verse 4]
A B E
Those winter nights they'd walk along the river
A B E
He'd chain-smoke and she'd stare up at the sky
A B E E/Eb C#m
And say this life, this love, this river has to end
A B E
But just for now we have all the time
A B F G
Just for now we have all the time... time
[Bridge]
A F G E
Don't spent your days in the haze with the iceman
A F G E
Don't spent your nights wondering the wards
A F G E
Don't spent your days in the haze with the iceman
A F G E
It means nothing at all

A F G E
Don't spent your days in the haze with the iceman

Don't spent your nights wondering the wards
A F G E
Don't spent your days in the haze with the iceman
A F G E
It means nothing at all
[Outro]
B A E
Just for now we have all the time
B A E
Just for now we have all the time
