Nightingale Lane

[Primera Parte]

         F                        
On the street in the South London 
Eb
suburbs
         Bb/F                
Where my first love kissed me 
     F
goodbye
              F
His lips were thin (thin), and 
beer-stained
                   Eb
(Beer-stained) And tear-stained
                        Bb/F
Was a pain that made me colder now
After the oceans I cried, I´m made 
    F
of steel
Just floating now, mm-mm

Am7                          Dm7
  But when I drive (when I drive)
Dm7                         Gm7
  Down this road (down this uff)
Gm7     F/A             Bbm
  I reminisce, (Lose my mind)
         F/A
I drive slow, I've let him go now 
(I,I..)
Dm7
  I just see a ghost town
    Ebm6
And sometimes at red lights
      Ebm6
With closed eyes, I tell myself
  Ebm6                       Bb/F
I dare myself to go on, just say it



[Estribillo]

         Bb/F                   
Somebody loved me once (Loved me 
 F
once)
                     F
And someday somebody will love again
         Eb
Like the way you loved me

right, just
Tonight)

Took me long old years to get over 
you
          Bb                     
It was an aching I refuse to feel 
  F
again
            F
And looking back now
                    Eb
We never were quite right for each 
other, baby
           Bb/F
But in the abscence of passion in my
 life
           Bbm
I remember how alive love once was



[Pre-Estribillo]

      Am7
