Keane - Sovereign Light Café
Strangeland -(2012)
 
[Verse 1]
           B
I'm going back to a time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns
 
 
[Verse 2]
                      B
I didn't know I was finding out how I'd be torn from you
         E
When we talked about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F#
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too
 
 
[Chorus]
               E              B
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
By the lights of the Palace Arcade
                        E                     G#m   F#
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
 
 
[Verse 3]
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day
 
 
[Chorus]
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
By the lights of the Palace Arcade
                        E                     B      F#
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
 
                      E               B
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                       E                     B      F#
To take turns as the stars of the Sovereign Light Café
 
 
[Bridge]
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E            B             F#
And look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetsign
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?
 
 
[Verse 4]
                             B
Well, you've got nothing to hide, you can't change who you really are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far
 
 
[Chorus]
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
By the lights of the Palace Arcade
                        E                     B      F#
And watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café
 
                      E                B
Let's go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                      B      F#
To take turns as the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 
 
          E            B    G#m
Sha la la la la la de day  Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name
