Above a bar called tokyo
We watched the post-work traffic flow
Selective of the drinks that we buy
C Dm Bb
We used to drink the river bed dry
You and i
C Dm Bb
We act as if the people we were are gone
But echoes remain
C Dm Bb
We act as if the way that we were was wrong
As if people changed
...that intro-stuff again...
Above the hotel Kyoto
There is a neon scarlet glow
Dancing on the slippery tiles
C Dm Bb
We bathe until the water runs dry
You and I
C Dm Bb
We act as if the people we were are gone
C Dm
But echoes remain
Bb
Echoes remain
C F
Now that you're gone
Bb
I see you so clearly
C F Bb
You were drinking martinis differing to me
C
Now that you're gone
F Bb
do you feel anything?
