[Intro]
Dm
(Synth with volume swell)

[Verse]
Dm                                  G
I was standing in the station being pounded by the rain
     Dm                              G
so I chose the last compartment of a stationary train
            B          Bb              B                  Bb
I felt some-one get in behind me but I never caught their eye
      B                 Bb             B               Bb     G#m  F#
but I thought I heard a woman's voice, whispering good-bye

     Dm                                G
So I lay down in the darkness with the beer and coffee stains
      Dm                                    G
and I stared out at the thunder through the broken window panes
       B          Bb                B                     Bb
And al-though the storm was booming like an engine in the sky
    B              Bb            B    Bb
I'm sure I heard a woman's voice cry

[Chorus]
               C          Dm        C    Dm                C          Dm        C   Dm
Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever,   Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever
               C          F     C             F                  C          F     Bb  Ebm
Don't wanna be under your thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb for-ever

[Verse]
     Dm                            G
So I rolled myself a cigarette and smoked it on my own
       Dm                              G
but it didn't stop the whispers or the smell of her cologne
         B              Bb              B                Bb
Then she rose up out of nowhere and her hair was full of steam
        B                      Bb         B       Bb     B       Bb       B       Bb
and she stuck her head out the window and screamed   and screamed,    she screamed!

[Chorus]
               C          Dm        C    Dm                C          Dm        C   Dm
Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever,   Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever
               C          F     C             F                  C          F     Bb  Ebm   G#m F#  E  F# E
Don't wanna be under your thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb for-ever

[Bridge]
         F#                              E             F#                                E
(Spoken) So I picked up an old newspaper to read and I noticed something very strange in-deed

[Verse]
      Dm                            G
 So I looked a little closer and it chilled me to the bone
       Dm                                  G
"Woman throws herself from speeding train, identity un-known"
      B                             Bb                     B                      Bb
But I recognized the picture of the woman who was dead and underneath the picture it said

[Outro]
               C          Dm        C    Dm                C          Dm        C   Dm
Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever,   Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever
               C          F     C             F                  C          F     Bb  Ebm
Don't wanna be under your thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb for-ever
               C          Dm        C    Dm                C          Dm        C   Dm
Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever,   Don't wanna be under your thumb for-ever
               C          F     C             F                  C          F     Bb  Ebm
Don't wanna be under your thumb it's over and done I'll never be under your thumb for-ever (Fade)
