Em

[Verse]
Am
Writing on dirty paper with
C
Nothing new to say
Am                       
Except that as I see it 
C
Today is just today
G
The past is ever present
      Em
with all its senseless pain
G
 And through the nearest window
     Em              D
it nearly looks like rain

[Chorus]
           G        D
Just like London
           G        D
Just like London
           Em
Just like London

[Verse]
Am                        C
The logs here in the fire don't really want to burn
Am                       C
But as with all desire, you've got to live & learn
G                                  Em
The flames which mean to warm me, warn me
     G
That bad things can still happen
         Em           D
All the same, all the same

[Chorus]
           G       D
Just like London
           G       D
Just like London
            Em
Just like London

[Verse]
Am
Children laughing children crying,
C                    Am
Children all the same, but you'll grow up and through
            C
Mistakes you'll learn to play the game
G
So keep your eyes peeled and
Em
watch out the sneak attacks
G
And keep your nose clean or
    Em                D
you'll end up on your back

[Chorus]
            G        D
Just like London
            G        D
Just like London
            Em
Just like London

[Verse]
 Am            C             Am
Cheat the reaper & find a wife
                C                G
Throw away your switchblade knife
                 Em    G
Let your wounds heal
                Em          D
Let your heart feel, let it feel...

[Outro]
         G        D
Unlike London!
         G        D
Unlike London
         Em
Unlike London
