              C

1. On a night like this I deserve to get kissed

                  G

    at least once or twice,

                      C

    you come over to my place screaming blue murder,

                    G

    needing some place to hide.

                 C

    Well, I wish you'd keep quiet, imagination’s run riot

                   G

    in these paper-thin walls,

                             C

    and when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names.

                           G

    I don't know who to call.

 

                      Bm                            

    But I got a friend over there in the government block,

                     C

    and he knows the situation and he's taking stock,

                    D                                                            C

    I think I'll call him up now, put him on the spot, tonight.

 

    G             - C  - G                 

        Na na           Na na ….

 

                             C

2. They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off

               G

    about saving some fish,

                        C

    now could that be construed as some radical's views

                   G

    or some liberals' wish.

                Bm

    And it's so hot outside, and the air is so sweet,

                             C

    and when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak,

                              D

    you know most killing is committed at 90 degrees,

                   D7

    when it's too hot to breathe and it's too hot to think.

 

                               G                                              C       D

    There's always someone looking at you, oh oh oh oh oh. (3x)

      F                                                 C

    Tonight, they’re looking at you tonight.

3. And I wish you'd stop whispering,

C                                    - G

    don't flatter yourself,         nobody's listening.

                C                                                       G

    But it makes me nervous, those things you say,

                                   C

    you may as well shout it from the roof,

                                                      G

    scream it from your lungs, and spit it from you mouth,

                  C

    it could fall on deaf ears to indulge in your fears.

                     D

    There's a spy in the sky, there's a noise on the wire,

                   D7

    there's a tap on the line for every paranoid's desire.

 

                               G                                              C       D

    There's always someone looking at you, oh oh oh oh oh. (2x)

                              - G                          - C - D            - C

    They’re always        looking at you.               (7x)
