Green Cifras

A great song from OMD's 2010 album, "History Of Modern"
 
Intro: C F Dm G C F Dm G
 
   C                            F
If all the things you said were right
C                          F
How come you can't go home tonight
G
You're frightened on your own
F
Scared to be alone
        C
In your head
       G
Not at home
 
Dm                             G
And all the things you say and do
Dm                            G
Won't take the fear away from you
 
    C                    F
And so you're once again tonight
                     Dm
Just praying for the light
                             G
When thoughts that haunt you so
                    C
Will slowly let you go
                   F
And once again the dread 
                   Dm
Is burning in your head
                      G
You try but can't let go
                         C
This pain that kills you so
 
C F Dm G C F Dm G
 
   C                           F
If all the things you say were true
C                             F
Why can't you start this game anew
     G                           F
It's nothing that was said, it's only in your head
        C                 G
But the dread, oh God the dread
 
Dm                             G
And all the things you say and do
Dm                            G
Won't take the fear away from you
 
    C                   F
And so we're once again tonight
                     Dm
Just praying for the light
                             G
When thoughts that haunt you so
                    C
Will slowly let you go
                   F
And once again the dread 
                   Dm
Is burning in your head
                      G
You try but can't let go
                         C
This pain that kills you so
 
    C                   F
And so we're once again tonight
                     Dm
Just praying for the light
                             G
When thoughts that haunt you so
                    C
Will slowly let you go
                   F
And once again the dread 
                   Dm
Is burning in your head
                      G
You try but can't let go
                         Am
This pain that kills you so
 
Coda:  Am G F E (to fade)
