C - Em - F (2x)

1. At the Piccadilly station I felt my heartbeat racing,

F

I didn't know no better,

C Em

and on that Camberwell road I found a mirror for my soul

F

and I didn't need no other.

Am C F

I was accident prone, I fell head over heels with no warning,

Am G F

and in spite of my vertigo I never felt myself falling.

C G Am F

And I wish, I wish that I told you then what I realize now,

C G Am F

and I wish, I wish that I told you when you were still around.

2. That night in Whitechapel, girl, I know what should have happened,

F

but I just left you standing there.

C Em

Meanwhile I became a man from New York City to Japan,

F Am

but that don't give me satisfaction, yeah.

C F

We're only victims of timing,

Am G F

and on that cold summer night I know I am a fool for not trying.

C G Am F

And I wish, I wish that I told you then what I realize now,

C G Am F

and I wish, I wish that I told you when you were still around.

+ C - Em - F

C G Am F

+ I wish that I could rewrite all the things that we both let go,

C G F

and I wish that I could just turn back the time and tell you all.

C G Am F

I wish I wish that I told you then what I realize now.

C - Em - F

+ I wish.

C G Am F

And I wish, I wish that I told you then what I realize now,

C G Am F

and I wish, I wish that I told you when you were still around.
