Capo 1
DGDDsus2D
Meet me on the edges of the city,
BmGDDsus2D
Meet me where the underground runs out.
DGDDsus2D
Bring a picnic blanket and your pity.
BmGDDsus2D
A pen and paper so I can write things down.
AAsus2EmEm7
Mother, oh dear mother, I wasn't joking when I said,
BmGA
That I plan to keep doing this until the day I'm dead.
DCadd9GA
And I'm not a mirror for you when you were young.
EmADD
But I still remain your faithful only son.
DGDDsus2D
Lately I've been feeling kind of fragile,
BmGDDsus2D
Lately I've been feeling all worn out.
DGDDsus2D
What would any of us do, before the dreams that we had came true,
BmGDDsus2D
What would there be left to dream about.
AAsus2EmEm7
Father, oh dear father, I'm not trying to reject,
BmGA
The values that you held like winning cards up to your chest.
DCadd9GA
But I can't just do the things that you wish that you'd done,
EmA
Though I still remain your faithful only son.
GGmaj7EmEm7
/piano instrumental
GGmaj7
The city, seems so still
EmEm7
When you're looking down, from Highgate Hill.
D let ring, G let ring D Dsus2 D
There's nothing left for us to say,
BmGDDsus2D
You taught me everything that I know,
DGDDsus2D
YOu wouldn't miss me if I stayed,
BmGDDsus2D
You never see me if I go.
AAsus2EmEm7
This is no confession no this is who I am
BmGA
Make me in your image so you have to understand,
DCadd9GA
That I did my best as told and so've become,
EmADD-G-D
Your loving and your faithful only son.
