(Gmaj7)Five o’ clock and a fire es cape sym (A)pho ny,
spill ing (Gmaj7)out a cross the road and the square.
And the (Gmaj7)sky’s the same as your own, do you think (A)of me?
Do the (Gmaj7)parks and trees and the leaves reach you there?
Af ter the rain
in the lone
ly hours he haunts me.
Call ing (Bb)out a (C)gain and a gain.
So (G)phi a, So phi (D)a I’m burn (Bm)ing, I’m burn (A)ing.
It’s a fire, a fire I can (Bm)not put out.
So phi (G)a, So phi (D)a, I’m learn (Bm)ing that some (A)things I can’t go with (G)out
and (Bb)one of them is (Csus4)him.
Now I (Gmaj7)walk these streets like a stran ger in my (A)home town.
Learn the (Gmaj7)lan guage, form the words when I speak.
But he (Gmaj7)changed me, I’m his ghost since he came (A)a round.
Now I (Gmaj7)count the hours and the days and the weeks.
Pas sion and si (D)lence.
Ev ’ry word, ev ’ry line.
A mea (G)sure.
It’s the sci (Bb)ence
(C)of the soul.
And his books
they breathe a rea son.
And (Bb)now I (C)wan na know.
So (G)phi a, So phi (D)a I’m burn (Bm)ing, I’m burn (A)ing.
It’s a fire, a fire I can (Bm)not put out.
So phi (G)a, So phi (D)a, I’m learn (Bm)ing that some (A)things I can’t go with (G)out
and (Bb)one of them is him.
And you
with your new born eyes,
have you ev er loved a man
like I love (D)him?
(Dsus4)Do you hurt
but still feel a live
like (Bm)nev er be (A)fore?
Oh, So phi (CN.C.)a.
So phi (D)a.
So (Gsus2)out.
I
