(Bm Dm Gm Bb) – repeated the whole song

My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don’t care
Tonight I’m in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate
Now

Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please

Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I’m yours to keep
Do what you want
I’m going cheap
Tonight

You’re behind the wheel, tonight

Depeche Mode

INTRO: C // /F C

[(1)]

Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side

Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I’ll show no repentance
I’ll suffer with pride

[(2)]
If for honesty
You want apologies
I don’t sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes[//]

[(1)]Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime

[(1)]Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time

[(2)]If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it’s no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I’d never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know……

It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

E …..
Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It’s easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I’m anyone’s
And you know……

It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When I’m on my own
But you know that I’d
Rather be home

It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

A …..
It’s a question of lust
It’s a question of trust
It’s a question of not letting
What we’ve built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

I’ve got to get to you first
Before they do
It’s just a question of time
Before they lay their hands on you
And make you just like the rest
I’ve got to get to you first
It’s just a question of time

Well now you’re only fifteen
And you look good
I’ll take you under my wing
Somebody should
They’ve persuasive ways
And you’ll believe what they say
It’s just a question of time
It’s running out for you
It won’t be long
Until you’ll do
Exactly what they want you to

[(Gm] [F)]
I can see them now
Hanging around
To mess you up
To strip you down
And have their fun
With my little one

It’s just a question of time
It’s running out for you
It won’t be long
Until you’ll do
Exactly what they want you to
It won’t be long
Until you’ll do
Exactly what they want you to

Sometimes I don’t blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds

It’s just a question of time
It should be better
It’s just a question of time
It should be better with you
It’s just a question of time

The first part of theverse has two riffs that are repeated, an Am and a Gm riff:

e|-------5--------------3---------------------------------------------------
B|-----5---8-7b-------3---6-5b----------------------------------------------
G|---5--------------3-------------------------------------------------------
D|-7--------------5---------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second part of the verse uses a Fm riff and a different Am riff:

e|-------0-----------1------------------------------------------------------
B|-----1-----------1--------------------------------------------------------
G|---2-----------1----------------------------------------------------------
D|-2-----------3-----------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strum Am and Fm chords on the bridge:

e|---0-----1----------------------------------------------------------------
B|---1-----1----------------------------------------------------------------
G|---2-----1----------------------------------------------------------------
D|---2-----3----------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(note: try vibratin’ the whole Fm chord to get the cool little effect in some places on CD)

The outro is like this x2

e|-------0-------0---------------1-------1----------------------------------
B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1---1---3---3-1------------------------------
G|---2-------2---------2-----1-------1---------1----------------------------
D|-2---------------------2-3---------------------3--------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

and then this once

e|-------0-------0---------------1------------------------------------------
B|-----1---1---3---3-1---------1--------------------------------------------
G|---2-------1---------2-----1----------------------------------------------
D|-2---------------------2-3------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

and then repeat the whole outro thing again and again to fade. So some idea of timings:

Intro: Am

Verse 1:

I heard a rumour
They travel far
You know what it’s like
The way people are
They talk and they talk
Though they don’t understand
They’ll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand

Verse 1.5

Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it’s not so

Verse 2
(same as last verse)

I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we’re doing fine

(Bridge – strum here)

Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on my chest
And breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love

Verse 3 (a lil different):

I heard it from Peter
Who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from someone
I don’t know at all
I heard it from Mary
Who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the bible
She’s telling the truth
I heard it from Simon
Who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah
That I was to blame
I heard it from Joseph
Who heard it from John
Who said with conviction
That all hope was gone

Verse 3.5:

So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Before you say goodbye
Outro
Before you say goodbye

The air is so cold here
It’s so hard to breath
We better take cover
Will you cover me?

Way up here with the northern lights
Beyond you and me
I dreamt of us in another life
The one we’ve never reached

[Cmadd9/G]

And you know we’re sinking
We could fade away
I’m not going down
Not today

The air is so cold here
Too cold to see
We have to take cover
Cover me

Way up here with the northern lights
Beyond this broken bars
I picture us in another life
Where we are superstars
