You sent greetings from Liverpool
E(2) A(2)
and I took the next train
E(2) A(2)
Passed by people putting flowers on graves and
F#m
We got delayed
E(2)
When I arrived you had vanished like steam
A(2) E(2) A(2)
and left me in a diesel day
E(2) A(2)
So I walked around and spent ten pounds
F#m
in amusement arcades
B
Felt like I was in a field
looking for a pin
It's a kind of loneliness It's a kind of emptiness

F# A F#
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will
A E A
Yes I will, yes I will
I took a spoon to the swimming pool
to drain your trace away
And I changed my name so only my looks remain
And if looks could kill I'd need a license for my face
'Cos where his fists put bruises
A scheming smile now takes their place
Felt like I was in a field
looking for a pin
It's a kind of loneliness
It's a kind of emptiness
But I'm not trying I'm just rehearsing
For the perfect day
When I want you, I'll come looking for you
Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will.
