Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
D Dmaj7 G D G A D
D Dmaj7 G D G A D

[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7 G D
So it goes, history shows
G A D
Deserts must expand
D Dmaj7 G D
Camels sail like wooden ships
G A D
Like women on the strand
D Dmaj7 G D
There’s a sand on second avenue
G A D
And the wind blows like a train
D Dmaj7 G D
Taxis line up like a string of pearls
G A D
Around the block again

[Chorus]
A G
I remember everything and every window pane
A
Every word came back to me
G Gm
Like I was Superman
D Dmaj7 G D
But then I saw your face across the street
G A D
Through the tears of Hercules

[Instrumental]
D Dmaj7 G D G A D

[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7 G D
There’s a bus that leaves at eighty fifty
G A D
Another one at ten
D Dmaj7
Should I climb aboard?
G D G A D
Risk everything and ride it to the end?
D Dmaj7 G D
Watch the heels like rollercoasters
G A D
Up against the sky
D Dmaj7 G D
And wish that you were here by me
G A D
So close that I could die

[Bridge]
A
You said love wrecks everything
G
And none of us survive
A
But I got over you last night
G Gm
In sadness, empty dies

[Refrain]
D Dmaj7 G D
But then I saw your face across the street
G A D
Through the tears of Hercules

[Instrumental]
D Dmaj7 G D G A D
D Dmaj7 G D G A D

[Chorus]
A G
I remember everything and every window pane
A
Every word came back to me
G Gm
Like I was Superman
D Dmaj7 G D
‘Til I saw your face across the street
G A D Dmaj7 G D
Through the tears of Hercules
G A D
Through the tears of Hercules
