[C]
[Bm] [Dm]
[Am] [G]
[F] [Am] [Dm]
[G] [C]
Tell the truth, [G] it's really such a [Bm] sad [Am] affair Standing here, [G] waiting in the cold [F] night air
To [Em] make [Dm] this call, [G] cause my heart is breaking [C]
I hear the fifth [G] stripe of coin in the slot
[Am] Has it been that long, [G] I thought you'd forgotten [F]
me
How [Am] could [C] it get [Dm] me late, [G] but I just couldn't [F] wait
Will I have the nerve [C] to say, [Dm]
I just [G] wanna come [F] back
Should I just go [Am] away, [Dm]
I just [G] wanna come [C] back
I've been struck [G] by such bad luck [Am]
I need a place, a little [G] happiness and [F] some love
I [Am] [C] see it [Dm]
now, now [G] let me paint the picture
[Ab]
It's twelve o'clock [Bb] and the curtains are drawn
[Eb]
The counting sheep [Cm] down at Orchard Road
[Ab]
You're hanging [Bb] on the telephone line [Eb]
tonight
[Ab] I [Eb] wish I could [Bb] be in [C] Orchard Road
Not much [G] been happening here
[Am]
Think I got a job, [G] they're gonna call me [F] next week
I'll [Am] be working out [Dm] of town
[G] Well it sure beats hanging [C] around
What's that?
[G] Tomorrow too?
[Am]
You're kidding me, no
[G] Is it alright [F] with you?
[C] I don't know what [Dm] to say
[G] It'll be like a holiday
[F]
When you say you're all [Dm]
alone
[G] Makes me wanna come back
[F]
And this house is not [Dm] a home
I just [G] gotta go [Ab] back
It's twelve ten [Bb] when I put down the phone
[Eb]
The moon's shining [F] down on [Cm] Orchard Road
[Ab]
I'm feeling [Bb] like a schoolboy again
And [Eb]
tonight I [Ab] will see [Eb] you
[Bb] Dream of [C] Orchard Road
[G]
Woo [Am] [G] [F] -hoo
[Am]
It's [Dm] funny [Em] but I thought I'd never [F] go back
I think [G]
sometimes I might [Dm] lose track
But I [Em] remember you and the things [F] we [G]
[A] did
And [Gbm] Orchard Road, you've got [D] my heart
I left [E] it in your doorway
[A] And Orchard [Gbm]
Road, I'm welcome [D] back
Just wait [E] in there just for me
[C] And [Am] Orchard Road, the sun will [F] shine again, [G] I know
[C] And Orchard [Am]
Road, you keep [F] my love
Just wait [G] in there for me
[Ab] It's eight o'clock [Bb] and the dawn's arrived
[Eb] And Orchard Road, [Gm] it's breakfast [Cm] time
[Ab] I'm in my car [Bb] and I turn the key
And [Eb] I'm gone
[Ab]
I'm [Eb] coming [Bb]
home
To Orchard [C]
Road
[G] I'm coming home
[D] [Am]
[G] I'm [F]
[C] coming [F] home
[G] [C]
[G] [Am]
