[intro] Bm D A (3 times)

D Bm

Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking

D A

The Tokyo's taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt

G A Bm G

And there's nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you

A D Bm

And every kiss enslaves you-oo-oo

D Bm

She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows

D A

She can't escape the feeling repeating in her head

G A Bm G

When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges

A

We felt the deadly surges

Discovering Japan--an --an

Discovering Japan--an --an

D Bm

The GIs only use her, they only ram right through her

D A

Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep

G A Bm G

Seeing a million miles, between their joke and smiles

A D

She heard their hard denials [don't pause]

Bm A

As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face

Bm A

I woke up talking in the tongue of a different race, race

Bm G

And as the flight touches down my watch says 8:02

F#m Bm D A

But that's midnight to you,

Bm D A Bm D A / G A

Midnight to you Midight to you

D Bm

I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions

D A

I shouted sayonara it didn't mean goodbye

G A Bm G

But lovers turn to posers show up in film exposures

A

Just like in travel brochures

Bm A G D A Bm A G D A
