If you   live here learn the language

[chorus]
         G/D          D
When the rain hit the roof
D        G/D                 D
With the sound of a finished kiss
D           G/D              D
Like when a lip lifts from a lip
  A6/C#               G/B
I took the Wrong Road round

[verse 2]

( A7/C# )   Em          G/B      A7/C#
A room in a lighthouse,   near the park
A7/C#             Em        G/B      A7/C#
The ghosts in the next room hear you cough
A7/C#         Em      G/B      A7/C#
Time drags on Sundays spent in Mayfair
A7/C#         Em      G/B        A7/C#
With all your riches, why aren't you there?

[chorus ]

    G/D             D
The wind acts like a magnet
    G/D                     D
And pulls the leaf from the tree
        G/D              D
And the town's lost it's breath
  A6/C#               G/B
I took the Wrong Road round

[ verse 3]

( A7/C# )   Em    G/B       A7/C#
Handsome is good, pretty is better
              Em      G/B         A7/C#
What was that phrase, Grace under pressure?
             Em          G/B          A7/C#
Blind by the light bulb, Blood to the bank
               Em       G/B     A7/C#
Lost all yours letters when the ship sank

[chorus]

       G/D                 D
In the disjointed breaking light
    G/D                       D
The soft blue approach of the water
        G/D             D
Makes a sound you won't forget
  A6/C#               G/B
I took the Wrong Road round

[verse 4]

( A7/C# )    Em       G/B      A7/C#
Stranded at low-tide where the river bends
             Em       G/B        A7/C#
Wouldn't you know it, that's how life ends
         Em      G/B      A7/C#
Lucky at cards, that's an old lie
         Em     G/B       A7/C#
Lucky in love, that's how life ends

[chorus]
         G/D              D
Well the turncoats turned around
          G/D                    D
When they heard the sound of the bell
              G/D            D
Dropped their coins into the well
  A6/C#               G/B
I took the Wrong Road round

[verse 5]

[ A7/C# )   Em      G/B      A7/C#
Started out Oliver, ended up Fagin
          Em     G/B     A7/C#
Don't you worry, it's my problem
          Em    G/B       A7/C#
What's my name, what's my number?
           Em  G/B            A7/C#
...............I'm the lonely one

[chorus]
             G/B            D
It's just at the end of the day
          G(B                       D
When the light makes it's slow move away
       G/B            D
That I know all I can say is
  A6/C#               G/B
I took the Wrong Road round

[verse 6]

             Em    G/B           A7/C#
Gambled with risk, Paid you back with risk
           Em   G/B      A7/C#
So now you know who your friends are
                   Em      G/B       A7/C#
They'll steel your shadow, when your back's turned
            Em       G/B      A7/C#
Bouquets of flowers, Lesson's over

[chorus]
          G/D         D
When the rain hit the roof
         G/D                 D
With the sound of a finished kiss
            G/D              D
Like when a lip lifts from a lip
  A6/C#               G/B
I took the Wrong Road round
