[Verse 1]
E B F#m A
The night's a spill, a permanent stain; the city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
E B F#m A
A blue glow from the tv again, the curtains never open, faces never show
E B F#m A
And every time a light is turned on there's a light that's turned off somewhere
E B F#m A
For every moment that's lost there's a perfect cost, there's a debt you can't share
F#m B E A F#m B
Clocks stopped at the corner of Albert will show your last bus left an hour ago
E B F#m A E B F#m A
so stumble down the stairs again, pretend you're not too proud
E B F#m A F#m A
to understand and still know when your voice cuts through the crowd
E A E A
that lonely people talk too loud
[Verse 2]
E B F#m A
The night's a spill, a permanent stain; the city soaks in silence, salt and dirty snow
E B F#m A
A blue glow from the tv again, the curtains never open, faces never show
E B F#m A
And every night they play the same song to the same offbeat believers
E B F#m A
And everyone is singing along wearing blueblack eyes, wearing dead men's neck-ties
F#m B E A F#m B
Clocks stopped at the corner of Albert will show your last bus left an hour ago

so stumble down the stairs again, pretend you're not too proud

that lonely people talk too loud
