Biography:
The Church is an alternative rock band which formed in Sydney, Australia in 1980. Initially linked in with neo-psychedelia acts of the period, their music later became largely defined by the interplay of guitarists Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes coupled with the abstract lyrics of bassist/singer Steve Kilbey. Their debut album, Of Skins and Heart (1981), earned them their first radio hit "The Unguarded Moment". They were originally signed to EMI's Parlophone label

I'm not sure where this song actually shows up in the Church's catalogue, but it's
the version with just some acoustic guitars and a harmonica.

E Esus4
VERSE 1
E A (Aadd9) B E
There'll never be another quite like you
A (Aadd9) B E
I'm so involved with everything you do
A (Aadd9) B E
Don't say nothing good will ever come of this
A (Aadd9) B
Don't say the damage is worse than it is
CHORUS 1
C#m B
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants

Where the oranges grew
C#m B
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us

When I'm standing with you
INTRO Refrain
VERSE 2 (same as Verse 1)
You stare down at some crowd from your trapeze
And when you fell they fell down on their knees
And when you broke they scrambled for a piece
And when you spoke I felt their anger freeze
CHORUS 2 (same as Chorus 1)
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
Back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
Back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to
BRIDGE
A G#m
And it's only a day away

We could leave tonight
A G#m
You could sleep along the way
F#m E
Dream in black and white

HARMONICA SOLO (same as Verse)
E A B B
CHORUS 3
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
Back in Metropolis nothing can ever topple us
When I'm standing with you
Back in Metropolis talk about a holocaust
And then visit the zoo
Back in Metropolis the weather is ridiculous
What's it all leading to
Back in Metropolis
What's it all leading to
Back in Metropolis
What's it all leading to
