A Matter Of Simple Deduction

(Verse) A I was walking alone in an unfamiliar town C when the buildings started to shiver and shake. Eb Shimmering rain came down in sheets D and then glittered like glass on the empty streets. A I could see your face in the wind C I could hear the orchestral storm begin to sing: Eb 'It's the end, it's the goddamn end! D Come on, baby, light that, light that fire!' (Chorus) A It's a matter of simple deduction. C It's a matter of complete control. Eb You can hold hands with the man in the tower, D but you just can't guarantee a place for your soul. (x2) (Verse) A So there I was, right? Stuck in the street. C Not a soul for miles, on my own two feet. Eb Glittering glass, piles of trash, D stuttering into the wind, wind, wind. A I could see your face in the air, C I could taste your skin on my lips. Eb But this is the end, this is the end! D Come on, baby, light that, light that fire! (Chorus) A It's a matter of simple deduction. C It's a matter of complete control. Eb You can hold hands with the man in the tower, D but you just can't guarantee a place for your soul. (x2) (Instrumental) A C Eb D (x2) End on A
