F#m E A
I said, I'm sorry to change my mind
F#m E
It was a little bit cold that night
A C#m
I was dreading the ride back to little Italy
A C#m
And needing to hide out from my mind
F#5 F5 A5 C#5
When you walk, you move like Moses
F#5 F5 A5 C#5
When you look, you look like Red Roses
F#5 F5 A5 C#5
Every day breaks bitter river, was a flood
F#5 F5 A5 C#5
Why do you leave me inbetween siamese cities
F#m E A
I saw the sky and you, what do you see in me
F#m E
This rubber maid's had better days
A C#m
Shaken out, static anonymity
A C#m
Vanity, don't let war die down
(from here it's the same chords as the previous parts...)
When you take, you turn me over
From the street, rock radio plays crimson and clover
Wvery day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why do you leave me inbetween siamese cities?
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was flood
Why do you leave me?
Why you leave me?
Why you leave me inbetween siamese cities?

She is shaken out static anonymity
F#m A
She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken (temporarly)
She is shaken (temporarly)
She is shaken out, static anonymity
She is shaken out, static anonymity...
