[N] [F#]
[G] [A] Outside [C#m] my window, not long [D] before sleep [E] arrives, [C] they come with their [A] sirens, and they [D] sweep
away all the boys, [F#] as they drain in the jar [Bm] from their lives.
[E] They never said their prayers [A] out loud.
And [C#m] while I'm dreaming, there's a [D] best [A] hotel car, [C] that broadcasts a popular [A] song, and a
[D] girl gets to be saying, [F#] do you think that I'm gonna [Bm] go far?
[F] Just look at me, [Am] I've had the time of my life, [D] on something quite like it.
Then I [G] walk it out at [C] home, out in [A#] London's [F] Britney Parade.
[Am] She's one of those girls [D] that you just can't place, [Am] feel guilty desiring [D] such an innocent face.
[G]
But of course they knew that when they [Em] cast her, [G] along with the Red Roof [Em] Master.
And [Am] the film takes place in [D] an empty league, in [Am] a perfectly creation of [D] the speezy.
[G] Everybody looks half [Em] interested, [G] though she probably [Em] never existed.
For old [C#] times sake, [D] don't let [D#] me away.
[A]

Looking [D] through the bolts and the [F#] girds, into the water [Bm] below, [E] you'll never find your answer [A] there.
This shall [F#] be the awkward, the [D] accidental [A] bizarre, they used to call Oxford Street.
Now the [D] bankrupt souls in the city, [F#] finally taste [Bm] indifference.
[F] Don't look at me, [Am] I've had the time of my life, [D] on something quite like it.

Parade.
[E]
[A] From the gates of [C#] St.
Mary's, there were horses [D] in [A] Olympia, [E] and a trolley bus in Fulham Broadway.
[A] The lions [D] and the tigers in [F#] Regent's Park, didn't play [Bm] their way.
[E] And now they're not the only [A] ones, at the [F#m] Amherstwood Palace, in [D] Kensington and [A] Camden Town.
[C] There's a part that I used [A] to play, the lovely [D] big roamer is really [F#]
part of the drama, [Bm] I'd say.
