E
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

E                 D
  I woke up in a Soho doorway
     A               C   G
A policeman knew my name
        E                     D
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
            A                 C  G
If you can get up and walk away"
E                       D
I staggered back to the underground
          A                  C   G
And the breeze blew back my hair
E                    D
I remember throwing punches around
      A                 C
And preaching from my chair


E
Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really want to know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Because I really want to know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

E                    D
I took the tube back out of town
 A                  C   G
Back to the Rolling Pin
E                       D
I felt a little like a dying clown
          A               C   G
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin
E                       D
I stretched back and I hiccupped
            A               C   G
And looked back on my busy day
E                    D
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
              A                 C   G
God, there's got to be another way


E
Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on tell me who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who the fuck are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh

E
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

E
I really want to know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really want to know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on tell me who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Because I really want to know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

E                  D
I know there's a place you walked
       A                    C   G
Where love falls from the trees
E                    D
My heart is like a broken cup
        A                 C   G
I only feel right on my knees
E                  D
I spit out like a sewer hole
      A                 C   G
Yet still receive your kiss
E                       D
How can I measure up to anyone now
       A               C   G
After such a love as this?

E
Well, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me whoa are you
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, I really want to know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, tell me, who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Come on, come on, who?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, who the fuck are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Who are you?
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Oh, tell me who are you
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know
Oh, I really wanna know
Come on tell me, who are you, you, you, you?
Who are you?
