Bombay Blues

A
A baby, young and sweet

A Maharashtra night, a city street
           Em
And I feel low
           A
Hear her crying in her sleep

A blanket of newspaper sheets
       Em
By my window
               A
There's no worse sound that I could 
hear
Or hope of life that I fear she'll 
      Em
never know
                A
Oh those Bombay Blues

          G
And the harder you push her away
The sooner your heart turns a darker
          A
 shade of grey
        G
But the more you allow her in
The longer she'll live beneath the 
                A
surface of your skin

Oh and now that I can seeeee
                     A F#m Bm
How love becomes the enemyyyyy
They say there's nothing you can 
G Em
doooo
But that's what they want you to 
A F#m Bm
believe

         A
Full moon party on the beach
Burning holy effigies on Summer 
Em
sands
         A
Temporarily mend the holes

In your chimerical soul
            Em
In a mystic land

         G
But all the beautiful things that 
you love
Will one day turn into the things 
        A
that you despise
         G
'Cuz the darkness lives within

And the more that you hide it
                       A
The darker it stains your skin

(PAUSE)               G Em
Oh and now that I can seeee
                   A F#m Bm
How love becomes a memoryyy
                                  G
And you say there's nothing I can 
 Em
do
                         A F#m Bm
If that's what you wanna believe
                      G Em
Oh and now that I can see
                     A F#m Bm
How love becomes the enemyyyyy

You say there's nothing I can do
                         A F#m Bm
If that's what you wanna believe
                              G Em
There's clearly nothing I can say
                      A F#m Bm
That will make her go awayyyyyy
Don't say there's nothing I can 
G Em
doooo
                         A F#m Bm
If that's what you wanna believe
