That token drag on your cigarette
 A             C#m7 Bm7
That well-known face in the fire
A            C#m7  Bm7
It could be someone you can't forget
 A             C#m7 Bm7
Someone you've learnt to admire

Chorus:
     A        C#m7  Bm7
And it's strange how the feeling goes;
  A            C#m7   Bm7
All change – down the river Ophelia goes

You're treading water, the price is steep
 A             C#m7 Bm7
You say you'll cope with it all;
 A             C#m7   Bm7
You've made some promises you can't keep
 A               C#m7 Bm7
You throw yourself against the wall
 A               C#m7 Bm7
You throw yourself against the wall
 A               C#m7 Bm7
You throw yourself against the wall

Chorus:
     A        C#m7  Bm7
And it's strange how the feeling goes;

Verse 3:
A            C#m7 Bm7
You heard a noise in the firegrate
A            C#m7 Bm7
You look to see who goes there –
A               C#m7  Bm7
It's just the stranger, he's come too late
 A         C#m7 Bm7
And even he's unprepared
A            C#m7 Bm7
To find the cupboard so bare

Chorus:
    A        C#m7   Bm7
It's so strange when the feeling goes;
   A           C#m7  Bm7
All change – down the river Ophelia goes

    A        C#m7   Bm7
It's so strange when the feeling goes;
   A           C#m7   Bm7
All change – down the river Ophelia goes

    A       C#m7   Bm7
It's so straaaaaange – down the river - sudden stop:
