 intro: B E A D D/C# (x2)
 
 (note: on the D chord in the verses, there is a descending

 B     E     A    D           
 There is no love inside of me
 B E            A        D    
 I gave it to a thousand girls
 B  E            A           D    
 We built towers of saddened ivory
 G              F#     G              A    
 In our English towns, in our english towns
 
 B   E         A          D     
 The dogs they try to possess us
 B     E          A         D    
 I can hear their anguished cries
 B    E            A           D    
 They built towers of saddened ivory
 G      F#             G              A    
 In our English towns, in our english towns
 
 E     B         D          A   - A 
 I can see their astonished eyes
 E        B       D   A   - A 
 Look the same in any size
 E         B           D       A   - A 
 And their secrets are all the same
 E       B        D       A   - A 
 Seeking pleasure seeking fame
 
 F       G             A    
 No love in a thousand girls
 F       G             A    
 No love in a thousand girls
