I walked away

you wanted it that way
G                                  D
now I watch the cars pass by at night
G                       D
things had to be that way
G                                 D
sirens rage through the silent night
G                       D
things had to be this way


           A         Em
        Oh I, who am I to seek
               G
        who am I to seek
           Bm        A
        desire, oh yeah


Cold London morn'
we fit tight in the storm

You seized the day
it had to be that way
never mind what's only a piece of my heart
nothing could change that way
you should have nailed me up to the sky
there was a better way


        Oh I, who was I to seek
        who was I to seek
        desire

        Oh I, who was I to seek
        who was I to seek
        desire, oh yeah


break:          Bm  A  Bm


instrumental:   G  D
                G  Em  D
                G  D


        Oh I, who was I to seek
        who was I to seek
        desire

        Oh I, who was I to seek
        who was I to seek
        desire, oh yeah


Now, heaven's gone
or heaven at least to me

My time is up
it has to be that way
these nights I walk the streets alone
it has to be that way
now I watch the windows at night
there is no other way


        Oh I, who am I to seek
        who am I to seek
        desire

        Oh I, who am I to seek
        who am I to seek
        desire
            D  Em  G  A
        Oh, I
            D  Em  G  A
        Oh, I
           D          Em
        Oh I, who was I to seek
                G
        who was I to seek
           Bm
        desire
           D          Em
        oh I, who was I to seek
                G
        who was I to seek
           Bm
        desire
            D  Em  G  Bm
        Oh, I
            D  Em  G  Bm
        Oh, I
