Verse 1
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Well a- [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)

And for- [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] get about everything

on the Perfect Unison] This city desert makes you feel so cold, its got
So many people but its got no soul
And its [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] taken you so long to		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Unison] so easy
[Dm7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] You used to say that it was		 [Am7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] so easy
[Am7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] But		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Third] you're tryin,		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] you're tryin		 [DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] now
[Dm7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] Another year and then you'd		 [Am7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] be happy
[Dm7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fourth] Just one more year and then you'd		 [Am7Minor 7th Chord (U,m3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison] be happy
But [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Third] you're cryin',		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] you're cryin		 [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] now
