[Verse 1]
D       Dmaj7 G        D
  So it goes,  history shows
G       A      D
Deserts must expand
D      Dmaj7 G   D
Camels sail like wooden ships
     G     A      D
Like women on the strand
          D       Dmaj7  G     D
There's a sand on second avenue
        G     A           D
And the wind blows like a train
      D       Dmaj7  G         D
Taxis line up like a string of pearls
 G         A      D
Around the block again


[Chorus]
A                          G
 I remember everything and every window pane
A
 Every word came back to me
     G          Gm
Like I was Superman
           D        Dmaj7 G                D
But then I saw your face across the street
            G        A    D
Through the tears of Hercules

[Verse 2]
D          Dmaj7              G      D
 There's a bus that leaves at eighty fifty
 G      A      D
Another one at ten
         D      Dmaj7
Should I climb aboard?
     G    D         G       A      D
Risk everything and ride it to the end?
D         Dmaj7      G     D
Watch the hills like rollercoasters
G   A          D
Up against the sky
    D         Dmaj7    G       D
And wish that you were here by me
   G          A       D
So close that I could die


[Bridge]
A
 You said love wrecks everything
    G
And none of us survive
A
 But I got over you last night
  G               Gm
Inside this empty dive


[Refrain]
           D        Dmaj7 G                D
But then I saw your face across the street
            G        A    D
Through the tears of Hercules

[Chorus]
A                          G
 I remember everything and every window pane
A
 Every word came back to me
     G          Gm
Like I was Superman
       D        Dmaj7 G         D
'Til I saw your face across the street
            G        A    D   Dmaj7 G D
Through the tears of Hercules
            G        A    D
Through the tears of Hercules
