Song title: Graham Parker - Discovering Japan

Edit By: 216.73.217.128

Pre>[intro] bm	d a (3 times)

D 					 bm
Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking
D					    a
The tokyos taxis braking, its screaming to a halt
G		  a		bm	 g
And theres nothing to hold on to when gravity betrays you
A 			 d bm
And every kiss enslaves you-oo-oo

D					    bm
She knows how hard her heart grows under the nuclear shadows
D				   a
She cant escape the feeling repeating in her head
G	    a	  bm		  g
When after all the urges some kind of truth emerges
A
We felt the deadly surges

Bm  a	  g d  a
Discovering japan--an --an
Bm  a	  g d  a  g d bm bm
Discovering japan--an --an

D 					 bm
The gis only use her, they only ram right through her
D					   a
Giving an eastern promise, that they could never keep
G			a		  bm	   g
Seeing a million miles, between their joke and smiles
A 		  d
She heard their hard denials [dont pause]

Bm					 a
As the tears dropped sideways down her face, face
Bm					   a
I woke up talking in the tongue of a different race, race
Bm				   g
And as the flight touches down my watch says 8:02
F#m		 bm d a
But thats midnight to you,
Bm d a		  bm d a / g a
Midnight to you    midight to you

D					 bm
I dreamed headlong collisions in jet lag panavisions
D			    a
I shouted sayonara it didnt mean goodbye
G	    a	    bm	 g
But lovers turn to posers show up in film exposures
A
Just like in travel brochures
Bm  a	  g d a  bm   a   g	d a
Discovering japan	    discovering japan
