White Room   Cream


Gm  F  Dm  C  /  Gm  F  Dm  C  Am7

       D              C                 G            Bb C     D          C  G   
In a white room with black curtains near the stations
Bb        C      D            C          G                Bb C D            C  G 
    Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings,

Bb     C  D       C               G                  Bb C    D            C  G 
    Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Bb        C      D       C            G          Bb   C    D            C  G  Bb
    Dawnlight smiles on your leaving, my contentment.
     C                G                       Bb            A
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines.
C                G                        Bb          C                     D
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

               D            C            G            Bb C  D          C  G 
You said no strings could secure you at the stations.
Bb     C      D       C            G          Bb C      D            C  G 
    Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
Bb  C         D    C         G            Bb C  D          C  G 
    I walked into such a sad time at the station.
Bb    C D             C           G              Bb C   D          C  G  Bb
    As I walked out felt my own need just beginning.
     C               G                       Bb               A
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
C           G                     Bb          C                     D
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
     C       
Gm  F  Dm  C  /  Gm  F  Dm  C  Am7

           D     C           G            Bb C  D                 C  G 
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Bb      C  D      C             G               Bb   C   D          C  G 
    Consolation from the old wound now forgotten
 Bb    C    D      C                  G          Bb C  D             C  G 
    Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
Bb        C    D           C              G              Bb C  D          C  G  Bb
    She's just dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings
     C                 G                     Bb      A
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd,
C             G                      Bb          C                     D
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
