Three tower blocks glinting
B             F#  F# E
in the midday sun.
B             F#
Two ice cubes melting
B                   F#  F# E
in a glass of white rum.
B                   F#
Head for the places that
B              F#
I've never gone.


F#                      E       B  F#
(I can't get through to myself.

Just can't get through to myself.)


B                  F#
Eight beggers choking
B             F#  F# E
on a slice of red pie.
B             F#
Two rivers freezing
B                   F#  F# E
in a broken goodbye.
B                   F#
No hesitation,
B                F#
just a kick in the eye.


F#                      E       B  F#

And we do alot of learning
        A               G

   B                        F#
My head is reeling from too much choice.

     F#        E                B

     A       E                 B
Just can't get through to myself...etc)
