When you see mirrors, you get the shivers

C           D
London lady, why did you lay me?
G                             F
Your head is crowded with the names you've hounded
C                    D
The lines around your eyes they show me
G               F                         G                      Bb F

G Bb F (x7)

note: Hugh plays a kind of 'anti solo' here, where he just attacks his guitar and plays 
randomly,
unfortunately, it's really low in the mix so more time is needed to decipher it :)

end on F.






                         G#m   D       E C#m B
Your skies were blue, goodbye Toulouse
  E
I walked your streets in fear
                           G#m     D       E C#m B (riff)
I washed your streets with tears, Toulouse
F#m G#m A   B    E
Goodbye Toulouse

     E
Your cafes tell the tales
                  G#m      D       E C#m B
Of saddened millionaires, Toulouse
  E
A million dreams I've had
                    G#m    D       E C#m B (riff)
A million lies I've told, Toulouse
F#m G#m  A  B
Goodbye Toulouse
