Discovering Japan Lyrics - Graham Parker

Pre>[intro] bm d a (3 times) 

D bm 

Her heart is nearly breaking, the earth is nearly quaking 

D a 

The tokyo's taxi's braking, it's screaming to a halt 

G a bm g 

And there's 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 can't 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

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 [don't 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 that's 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 didn't 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
