Verse:
------
I stood in this unsheltered place
D D/B
'Til I could see the face behind the face
Bm/G A D
All that had gone before had left no trace
D D/B
Chorus:
-------
Down by the railway siding
G D/Gb
In our secret world, we were colliding
G D/A
All the places we were hiding love
G A/Gb A D/B
What was it we were thinking of?
G A D
[verse]
So I watch you wash your hair
Underwater, unaware
And the plane flies through the air
[chorus]
Did you think I didn't have to choose it
That I alone could win or lose it
In all the places we were hiding love
What was it we were thinking of?
[verse]
In this house of make believe
Divided in two like Adam and Eve
You put out and I receive
[chorus]
Bridge:
-------
[D bass riff]
Oh the wheel it is turning spinning round and round
D D
And the house it is crumbling but the stairways stand
D D
..........................
C/D D
With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame
D D
Whatever it is, we are all the same
D D
Making it up in our secret world
C/D D
Making it up in our secret world
C/D D
Making it up in our secret world
C/D D
Shaking it up
C G
Breaking it up
C G
Making it up in our secret world
C G D
[verse]
Seeing things that were not there
On a wing, on a prayer
In this state of disrepair
[chorus]
Ssh, listen....
End Section:
------------
D G/D D, C/D G/D D
[repeat to end]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PETER GABRIEL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
