A   
You're riding on this wave of blue sequins 
              G 
You're shimmering 
A 
Tango, Foxtrot, I'm in trouble 
                                     G 
Can you hear the clammer louder and louder 

           A                     G        
I see you falling gently on the cobbles 
                   D 
Skipping into the quicksand, not into my arms 

            A                      G 
You see i'm falling gently on the cobbles 
                   D 
Skipping into the quicksand, not into your arms 

A 
Ears drop drip, drip, dripping down my ears 
                 G  
Flood gates and tears 
A 
Delicate and gently does it 
                                   G 
Won't you dedicate your hate to another ooooohh 

           A                     G        
I see you falling gently on the cobbles 
                   D 
Skipping into the quicksand, not into my arms 

            A                      G 
You see i'm falling gently on the cobbles 
                   D 
Skipping into the quicksand, not into your arms
