Key:
Em [Verse 1]
Em Arlington house, address: no fixed abode
C Em An old man in a three-piece suit sits in the road
Am F Am He stares across the water, he sees
F right through the lock
Am F But on and up like outstretched hands
Am F His mumbled words, his fumbled words, mock Sax
Em [Verse 2]
Em Further down, a photo booth, a million plastic bags
C Em And an old woman filling out a million baggage tags
Am F Am F But when she gets thrown out, three bags at a time
Am F Am She spies the old chap in the road to share her bags with
Continues after the ad
F She has bags of time [Middle]
Am9 Bm Am9 Bm Surrounded by his past, on a short white line
Am9 Bm Am9 Bm He sits while cars pass either side, takes his time
Dm Am Dm Am Trying to remember one better day
Dm F G A while ago when people stopped to hear him say
C F C F Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
C F C F Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes Sax I
Em [Verse]
Em Now she has walked enough through rainy town
C Em She rests her bag against his and sits down
Dm Am Dm Am She's trying to remember one better day
Dm F G A while ago when people stopped to hear her say [Chorus]
C F C F Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
C F C F Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes
C F C F Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
C F C F Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes
Eb F Eb G The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose [Chorus]
C F C F Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
C F C F Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes
C F C F Walking round you sometimes hear the sunshine
C F C F Beating down in time with the rhythm of your shoes
Eb F Eb G The feeling of arriving when you've nothing left to lose
