The Verve - History
(Richard Ashcroft)
G D6 Asus4 E (x2)
G D
I wander the lonely streets...
Asus4 E E7
Behind where the old Thames does flow.
G D
And in every face I meet...
A E E7
Reminds me of what I have run for.
Am7
In every man, in every hand,
Em
In every kiss you understand,
C1
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you too understand...
G D
I've got to tell you my tale...
Asus4 E E7
Of how I loved and how I failed...
G D
I hope you understand?
A E E7
These feelings should not be in the man.
Am7
In every child, in every eye,
Em
In every sky above my head...
C1
I hope that I know,
D
So come with me in bed.
Chorus:
Am
Because its you and me we're history
Em
There ain't nothing left to say
C1 D
When I...will get you alone...
G D
Maybe we could find a room?
Asus4 E
Where we could see what we should do...
G D
Maybe you know its true?
A E E7
Well, living with me is like keeping a fool.
Am7
In every man, in every hand,
Em
In every kiss you understand,
C1
That living is for other men,
D
I hope you know that I Am me...
Chorus (Reprise):
Am7 Em
So come on, I'm thinking about history,
C1
And I'm living for history,
D
And I think you know I'm bound for you,
Cause I am...
Am7 Em
And one and one is two, but three is company
C1
When you're thinking about the things you do,
D
And you're thinking about the things you do...
G D
I wanna tell you my tale...
Asus4 E
How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail...
G D
Do you understand?
A E
There's more in a smile that in a hand.
Am7
In every sky, in every kiss
Em
There's one thing that you've might have missed
C1 D
Oh, why Am I going to a place that now belongs to you?
Chorus:
Am7
But you and me, and so Am I
Em
Lets make it up
C1
Lets even try to live today, so why not smile?
D
Don't dream away your life...
Am7
Cause it is mine...
Em
It is mine...
C1
Is that a crime?
D
Is that a crime?
Am7 Em
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made,
C1 D
Its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
Am7 Em
Oh, the bed ain't made,
C1 D
But its filled full of hope, I've got a skinfull of dope...
Am7 Em C1 D A
