[Intro]
Am Em
[Verse]
D9 E E7 Am
Lovers they walk on the bright side of the street
D9 G Em
And the city it shines in surprise in the ice cream heat
C Am Em Dm
And I want to be kissed in the haze of this hotel room
F G Am
Before the evening steals the afternoon
[Verse]
D9 E E7 Am
And the traffic it shakes as my travel shaver drones
D9 G Em
And the maid she mistakes my 'come in' for a 'please leave me alone'
C Am Em Dm
But I want to be held in the swell of her sweet perfume
F G Am
Before the evening steals the afternoon
[Bridge]
Dm Dsus2 Am Em
Before the daylight dies and the dusty sky gets rusted up with tungsten
Am Asus2 E7
Before the phony night stakes its claim on walkers waiting at the junction
[Verse]
D9 E E7 Am
From the blue shade of the park, couples emerge
D9 G Em
Dropping hands like they're still scared to get caught
C Am Em Dm
But I want to be caught in their rage of embraces too
F G Am
Before the evening steals the afternoon X2
F G Em7 Am
Before the evening steals the afternoon
