I woke up in a Soho doorway,

A C G
A policeman knew my name. He said,

You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair

I remember throwin’ punches around and

A C G D/F# A
preachin’ from my chair Well,

Who are you [D/E][A/E][A/E]
(Who are you, who who, who who),
I really want to know
(Who are you, who who, who who)
Tell me who are you
(Who are you, who who, who who)
‘Cause I really wanna know
(Who are you, who who, who who)

I took the tube back out of town,
Back to the rollin’ pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of rin tin tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the tin pan, god,
There’s got to be another way.

[repeat over second chorus]

I know there’s a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup,
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss.
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this

[repeat chorus]

(Who…[A/E].) [D/E] [/] [/] [A/E]
I really wanna

(Who.[C/G]…)[/][//]
know… Oh, I really wanna

([D/A]Who.[//]…) [D/A] [/] [/]

(ahh.….)[///]
