[Verse 1]
Bm                       Em             Esus4
Sit down my love of open spaces
Bm                                Em
And greet my love that's all been spent
D                            Em         Em7
I'm going to tell you both a story
G          F#m             Bm           G A
About some memories that I dreamt

Bm                         Em           Esus4
See I've lost love in many places
Bm                              Em
Not least the streets of Sao Paolo
D                           Em          Em7
One friend especially I did make there
G             F#m             Bm        G A
A tenth floor window took her home


[Chorus]
B7                Em    Em7    A
Sometimes I could cry   for    miles
A7                D     Dmaj7  G
Sometimes I could cry   for    miles
Gmaj7             Em    Em7    F#m
Sometimes I could cry   for    miles
             Em
But I don't

[Verse 2]
Bm                         Em          Esus4
So hush the shadows in the oak tree
Bm                         Em
Be still the curlew on the moor
D                          Em          Em7
My heart has fallen by the wayside
G        F#m          Bm               G A
I cannot claim her anymore

Bm                             Em      Esus4
So don your duffel coats quite slowly
Bm                        Em
In this job juries have adjourned
D                               Em     Em7
While on the streets of old Sao Paolo
G          F#m        Bm               G A
I watch my baby being burned


[Chorus]
B7                Em    Em7    A
Sometimes I could cry   for    miles
A7                D     Dmaj7  G
Sometimes I could cry   for    miles
Gmaj7             Em    Em7    F#m
Sometimes I could cry   for    miles
             E
But I don't


[Bridge]
B                 Em    Em7    A
Sometimes I could cry   nine   times
A7                D     Dmaj7  G
Drop my bags and  run   for    miles
Gmaj7             Em    Em7    F#m
Sometimes I could live  nine   lives
      A            C#m
But I won't, but I won't

Who will sue the world for me

         C                F
Get me a person, get me a person
         G                F
Get me a person who isn't me

                C                  F
Cuz I'm getting tired, I'm getting tired
      G             F
Of my stupid little face

          C                  F
I don't belong here, don't belong here
        G                  F
Don't belong in this horse race

              C                    F
Thrown across water, thrown across water
              G            F
Thrown across water like a stone
