You shatter the [F#m]
cargoes I take you on [A] time, while counting all the [E] numbers down to the [Bm] wall
of the line.
Where [F#m] Nia [A] misses on the [E] doggy [Bm] stairway, [E]
[Bm] [F#m] French [A] kisses in the [E] doggy [Bm] doorway,
Buckhawk blowing out [F#m] a wild [A] cola, the police man he shines a [E] light on my [Bm] shoulder.

Up [F#m] comes a coaster, fast [E] and [Bm] silent in the night, [E] [Bm] over [F#m] my shoulder [A] all [E] you can see [Bm] are the fireflies.
No money in a jacket, [F#m] no jeans at all, [A] your [D] hands cold but [E] your lips are [Bm] warm.

[A] [Bm] She can [F#m] see him on the [A] train in the [E] east end [Bm] now,
big [F#m] feeling in the [A] places where the [E] sailors [Bm] go.
When she's walking by the [F#m] river on the railway line,
[A] she can still hear him whisper, [E] let's go down [Bm] to the water line.
Come on.
