[Intro]
Am G
[Verse 1]
Am
Here in the streets so mechanised
G
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Am
Studied all the rules and I want no part
G
But I let you in just to break this heart
Am
Even though it was only one night it was
G
........Fucking strange
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Nina's in the bedroom,
G
She said time to go now
D
But leavin', it ain't easy
E
I've got to let go, Oh I've got to let go
G
And the hours they ran slow
I said every night she just can't stop sayin'
[Chorus]

Oh, kill me now cos I let you down
Am G
I swear one day I'm gonna leave this town
Stop
Am G
Yes I'm leavin', Cos this just won't work

They act like Romans, But they're just like Turks

Some time, in your prime, See me, I like the summertime

Trapped in an apartment

She would not let them get her
