        D#
At the Piccadilly station
          Gm
I felt my heartbeat racing
          G#
I didn't know no better
             D#
And on that Camberwell road
          Gm
I found a mirror for my soul
              G#
And I didn't need no other

      Cm
I was accident prone
        D#                     G#
I fell head over heels with no warning
         Cm
And in spite of my vertigo
   A#               G#
I never felt myself falling

Chorus:
      D#      A#
And I wish I wish that
  Cm                    G#
I told you then what I realize now
      D#      A#
And I wish I wish that
  Cm                      G#
I told you when you were still around

That night in Whitechapel girl
I know what should have happened
But I just left you standing there
Meanwhile I became a man from
New York City to Japan
But that don't give me satisfaction, yeah

Chorus

D#                     A#
I wish that I could rewrite
                       Cm       G#
all the things that we both let go
    D#                        A#
And I wish that I could just turn back
              G#
the time and tell you all
   D#     A#          Cm
I wish I wish that I told you then what
   G#
I realize now

Chorus
