[Intro]
Em A G B7
[Verse]
Em A
Hiding faces turning pages
G B7
Still they read and read
Em A
Double deckers full of smokers
G B7
Look who's gone to seed
[Chorus]
A
Well the sun's getting higher
A
Think I'll take a flyer
C#m
The thought of it's causing me pain
C G B7
Oh, oh-oh-oh Shiny Cage
[Verse]
Em A
Talk a walk under the subway
G B7
See an old school chum
Em A
Window shopping for a short while
G B7
Then we'll have some fun
[Chorus]
A
Well the shops closing early
A
Everywhere's deserted
C#m
Hello and down comes the rain
C G B7
Oh, oh-oh-oh Shiny Cage
[Bridge] 6/8 tempo
C7
We'll do the town tonight
I know some girls then stop off
[Bridge] 4/4 tempo
Em A
For a bite
G A Em A
No strings to tie my kite
(couldn't get much higher)
G A Em A
No strings to tie my kite
(higher than the spires)
G
Well living for the night
F#7 B7
No way to spend a life
[Solo]
