Shining, stepping off a silver train.

Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
         G               Eb         Bb

(keep playing Bb, then D, then Bb again, then D again, then verse 2)

Verse Two:
Bb                        D
She's amazing in her own way
Bb                        D

Laughing, you won't get to her better traits*

         G                     Eb        D
You know time heals nothing by itself
      G            Eb      Bb
I see that ever so clearly now

Bridge One: (one time)
Bb, D  
Bb                                         D
          She looks a little bit different now
                                    Bb              D
Maybe a little bit softer round the eyes
Bb                                    D
          Just a little bit different now
                                    Bb
Maybe a little bit softer round the eyes

Bridge Two: (four times)
(same Bb)                                
The lights had just gone out at Rockerfeller Center.
        D
Take it slow and make it softer.
(same D)
Easy likes it nice and steady.

Chorus Three:
        G            Eb               D
Now I'm getting that sick taste in my mouth
         G               Eb         Bb
         G                     Eb        D
You know time heals nothing by itself
      G            Eb      Bb
I see that ever so clearly now

(just stay playing a Bb awhile then keep playing it over Bridge Two's lyrics)

End on Bb.

*I swear up and down that this line is actually "Laughing, you won't get to the weaker traits" or something, but this line is the general consensus, and I don't have the cd booklet to check it out with...  Listen and decide for yourself...
