A
A baby, young and sweet
A Maharashtra night, a city street
Em
And I feel low
A
Hear her crying in her sleep
A blanket of newspaper sheets
Em
By my window
A
There's no worse sound that I could hear
Em
Or hope of life that I fear she'll never know
A
Oh those Bombay Blues
G
And the harder you push her away
A
The sooner your heart turns a darker shade of grey
G
But the more you allow her in
A
The longer she'll live beneath the surface of your skin
(PAUSE) G Em
Oh and now that I can seeeee
A F#m Bm
How love becomes the enemyyyyy
G Em
They say there's nothing you can doooo
A F#m Bm
But that's what they want you to believe
A
Full moon party on the beach
Em
Burning holy effigies on Summer sands
A
Temporarily mend the holes
In your chimerical soul
Em
In a mystic land
G
But all the beautiful things that you love
A
Will one day turn into the things that you despise
G
'Cuz the darkness lives within
And the more that you hide it
A
The darker it stains your skin
(PAUSE) G Em
Oh and now that I can seeee
A F#m Bm
How love becomes a memoryyy
G Em
And you say there's nothing I can do
A F#m Bm
If that's what you wanna believe
G Em
Oh and now that I can see
A F#m Bm
How love becomes the enemyyyyy
You say there's nothing I can do
A F#m Bm
If that's what you wanna believe
G Em
There's clearly nothing I can say
A F#m Bm
That will make her go awayyyyyy
G Em
Don't say there's nothing I can doooo
A F#m Bm
If that's what you wanna believe
