WHITE ROOM
Cream
[ Gm][F][Dm][C][Gm][F][Dm][C][C]
In a [ Dm] white room
[F] with black [G]
curtains [Bb][C]
Near the [ Dm] station.
[F][G][Bb][C]
Black roof [ Dm] country
[F] no gold [G]
pavements [Bb][C]
Tired [ Dm] starlings.
[F][G][Bb][C]
Silver [ Dm] horses
[F] run-down [G]
moonbeams [Bb][C]
In your [ Dm] dark eyes.
[F][G][Bb][C]
Dawn light [ Dm] smiles
[F] on your [G]
leaving [Bb][C]
My con-[ Dm]-tentment.
[F][G][Bb][C]
[ C] I'll wait in this
[G] place, where the [Bb]
sun never [A] shines.
[ C] Wait in this [G] place,
Where the [ Bb] shadows,
[C] run, from them-[D]-selves.
You said [ Dm] no strings
[F] could se-[G]-cure
you [Bb][C]
At the [ Dm] station.
[F][G][Bb][C]
Platform [ Dm] ticket
[F] restless [G]
diesels [Bb][C]
Goodbye [ Dm] windows.
[F][G][Bb][C]
I walked [ Dm] into
[F] such a [G]
sad time [Bb][C]
At the [ Dm] station.
[F][G][Bb][C]
As I [ Dm] walked out
[F] felt my [G]
own need [Bb][C]
Just be-[ Dm]-ginning.
[F][G][Bb][C]
[ C] I'll wait in the
[G] queue, when the [Bb]
trains, come [A] back.
[ C] Lie with [G] you, where the [Bb] shadows,
[C] run, from them-[D]-selves.
[ Gm][F][Dm][C][Gm][F][Dm][C][C]
At the [ Dm] party [F] she was [G] kindness [Bb][C]
In the [ Dm] hard crowd.
[F][G][Bb][C]
Conso-[ Dm]-lation [F] from the [G] old wound [Bb][C]
Now for-[ Dm]-gotten.
[F][G][Bb][C]
Yellow [ Dm] tigers
[F] crouched in [G]
jungles [Bb][C]
In her [ Dm] dark eyes.
[F][G][Bb][C]
She's just [ Dm] dressing
[F] goodbye [G]
windows [Bb][C]
Tired [ Dm] starlings.
[F][G][Bb][C]
[ C] I'll sleep in this
[G] place, with the [Bb]
lonely [A] crowd.
[ C] Lie in the [G] dark, where the [Bb] shadows,
[C] run, from them-[D]-selves.
