SOL SOL/FA
And how it's always another day
MI7 LAm
Just after twelve o'clock's struck
LAm LAmi/SOL# RE
You said "Now I only want you so I don't have to promise"
SOL SOL/FA DO/MI DO
Or the cigarette-girl in the sizzle hot-pants
DO SOL/SI RE/LA SOL/SI
All the words of love seem cruel and crass
DO SOL/SI RE/LA SOL/SI
When you're tough and transparent as armoured glass
DO SOL/SI RE/LA MI/SOL#
You're everywhere girl in an everyday mess
MI MI/RE
And it's all here and now
LAm LAm/SI LAm/DO LA/MI
She hit him with that paper-weight Eiffel Tower
REm SOL REm SOL
And I tried to hold on to you but I don't know how
DO DO/SI DO/SIb LA
And I find it hard to swallow good advice
Am Am/B Am/C ?/D ?/D#
Like going down three times to only come up twice
LA/MI
Come up twice
The recurring device here is a major chord with the flat 7th in the bass.
It happens on "another day" "cigarette girl" and "here and now" and "good
advice".
Also lots of 1st & 2nd inversion chords. The most original part is the
bridge with the bassline walking up beneath the Am chord. Ami/B is, by
itself very dissonant, as the B isn't part of an Am or Am7, but in context
it sounds great. The end of the bridge is really strange with the same line
continuing through D D# E with the Beatles-like chanting going on against
