[Intro]
Dm
(Synth with volume swell)
[Verse]
Dm G
I was standing in the station being pounded by the rain
Dm G
so I chose the last compartment of a stationary train
B Bb B Bb
I felt some-one get in behind me but I never caught their eye
B Bb B Bb G#m F#
but I thought I heard a woman's voice, whispering good-bye
Dm G
So I lay down in the darkness with the beer and coffee stains
Dm G
and I stared out at the thunder through the broken window panes
B Bb B Bb
And al-though the storm was booming like an engine in the sky
B Bb B Bb
I'm sure I heard a woman's voice cry
[Chorus]
C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm
Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever, Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever
C F C F C F Bb Ebm
Don't wanna be under your thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb for-ever
[Verse]
Dm G
So I rolled myself a cigarette and smoked it on my own
Dm G
but it didn't stop the whispers or the smell of her cologne
B Bb B Bb
Then she rose up out of nowhere and her hair was full of steam
B Bb B Bb B Bb B Bb
and she stuck her head out the window and screamed and screamed, she screamed!
[Chorus]
C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm
Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever, Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever
C F C F C F Bb Ebm G#m F# E F# E
Don't wanna be under your thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb for-ever
[Bridge]
F# E F# E
(Spoken) So I picked up an old newspaper to read and I noticed something very strange in-deed
[Verse]
Dm G
So I looked a little closer and it chilled me to the bone
Dm G
"Woman throws herself from speeding train, identity un-known"
B Bb B Bb
But I recognized the picture of the woman who was dead and underneath the picture it said
[Outro]
C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm
Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever, Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever
C F C F C F Bb Ebm
Don't wanna be under your thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb for-ever
C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm
Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever, Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever
C F C F C F Bb Ebm
Don't wanna be under your thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb for-ever (Fade)
