 Then switch to strumming the following chords:
 E               A       Asus4 
 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4
 
 These chords are repeated as above all the way to the bridge.
 
 Verse and Chorus:
 
 E                                   A           Asus4 
 Like summer's death throes London's arms around me
 The world ends in West End sirens screaming unseen
 The river frozen and the lions asleep
 Up on the Westway watching people as sheep
 
 Play the chords once in between the verse and chorus
 
        E         A           Asus4 
 It's a long way away from it all
 In my corner I sometimes feel nothing at all
 It's the best way when the snow starts to fall
 
 Play the chords twice between the chorus and verse
 
 E                         A               Asus4 
 Confetti falling down the drains of your dreams
 Life in the fast lane never quite what it seems
 You're full-on baby with your full-on beams
 
 Play the chords once again before the next chorus
 
         E                    A           Asus4 
 On an expressway through the heart of it all
 In my corner I can walk cannot crawl
 It's the best way when the snow starts to fall
 
 Play the chords once more before the bridge

 Repeat a few times, then sing over the same chords:
 
 Like summer's death throes London armed surrounds me
 I'm up EC1 rusted fountains drown me
 This frozen river and these lions that breathe
 On an expressway
 Is this the best way
 
 On the last time through, play a G major bar chord instead of the last B2 chord.
 
 Outro:
 
 This is exactly the same as the verse, but a half step up, so you use bar chords
 on the first fret.
 
 F                                   Bb          Bbsus4 
 Like summer's death throes London's arms around me
 I'm up the West End shooting what I can see
 The river frozen and the lions asleep
