[F] [Am]
[Dm] [G]
[C] Tell the truth, [Bm] it's really [Bm] such a sad [Am] affair, standing here, [G] waiting in the cold [F] night air.
I've [E] got to make [Dm] this call, [G] cause my heart is breaking, [C] I hear the pips [G] drop a coin in the slot, but [Am] has it been that long, [G] I thought you'd forgotten [F] me.
But [Am] it's [Dm] getting late, [G] but I just couldn't [F] wait, well I have a lot [B] to say, [Dm] I just [G] want to come back, [F] should I just go [Em] away, [Dm] I just [G] want to come back.
[C] I've been struck [G] by such bad luck, [Am] I need a place a little [G] happiness and [F] some love, I [Am] think I [E] can see it [Dm] now, now [G] let me paint the picture.
[Ab] It's twelve o'clock [Bb] and the curtains are drawn, [Eb] they're counting sheep [D] down in [Cm] Orchard Road, [Ab] you're hanging [Bb] on the telephone line [Eb] tonight, and [Ab] I [Eb] wish I could be [Bb] in [C] Orchard Road.
Not much [G] been happening here, [Am] I think I got a job, [G] they're gonna call me [F] next week.
I'll [Am] be working out [Dm] of town, [G] well it sure beats hanging [C] around, what's that, [G] tomorrow at two, [Am] you're kidding me, no, [G] is it alright [F] with you, [Em] I don't [B] know what to [Dm] say.
[G] It'll be like a [F] holiday, when you say [Am] you're all [Dm] alone, makes me [G] want to come back, [F] this house is not a [Dm] home, I just [G] gotta go back.
[Ab] It's twelve ten [Bb] when I put down the phone, [Eb] the moon's shining [C] down on [Cm] Orchard Road, [Ab] I'm feeling [Bb] like a schoolboy again, and [Eb] tonight I [Ab] will see a
[Eb] [Bb] dream of Orchard [C] Road.
[G] [Am]
[G] [F]
[E] [Dm] It's funny [Em] but I thought I'd never [F] go back, I think [G] sometimes I might [Dm] lose track, but I [Em] remember you and the [F] redo.
Orchard [G] [A]
[Gbm] Road, you've got [D] my heart left [B] in your doorway, [A] and Orchard [Gbm] Road, I'm welcome [B] back, just wait in there just for me.
[C] And Orchard [Am] Road, the sun will [F] shine again,
[G] [C]
[Am] oh, you keep my [F] love just waiting [G] for [Ab] me.
It's eight o'clock and [Bb] the dawn's arrived, [Eb] Orchard Road, [C] it's [Cm] breakfast time.
[Ab] I'm in my car and [Bb] I've turned the key, and [Eb] I'm gone, and [Ab] [Eb] I'm coming [Bb]
home to Orchard [C] Road.
[G] [Bm]
[Am] [G]
[F] [Em] I'm coming [Dm] home.
