Gm Em B Dm C
Piccadilly Circus in the dead of night
Gm Em B Dm C
Just passing time beneath the lights
Em C Em
Up in town and all alone
C Dm
Got no business so minds his own
Gm Em B Dm C
The hotel room is lonely and cold
Gm Em B Dm C
He might as well go for a stroll
Em C Em
Idly looking in a hi-fi shop
C Dm
Footsteps, a chuckle, and one hard slap

Gm Dm C
And they didn't even see his face
See him flinch or hear him groan
They didn't even see his eyes
C Dm
One mean blow and on they ran
Gm Em B Dm C
He put his fingers to his side
And felt his flesh was open wide
Em C Em
He felt the rent the blow had made
Em C Dm
For the hand that fell had held a blade
Gm Dm C
And they didn't even see his face
See him stumble, hear his cry
They didn't even see his eyes
C Dm
Just lashed out in passing by
B Gm
What can it mean?
B Am
Who can make some sense of that?
B Am
Did it mean a thing to them?
Gm Am
What can make a mind like that?
Dm C Gm x3

Am Gm x3

Gm Em B Dm C
Those forty stitches helped him over
Who can live life over his shoulder?
Em C Em
He tried to put it in his past
C Dm
And flew safe home back to Belfast
Gm Dm C
And they didn't even see his face
See him stagger, watch him fall
They didn't even see his eyes
C Dm
They never knew him at all

Never knew him
Tried to kill him
Never knew him
Tried to kill him

Never knew him
Tried to kill him
Never knew him
Tried to kill him
