Tokyo sunset words&music Franciscus Henri
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Space above us, Space below
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Shadows in the shape of Tokyo
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
How was I to know?
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
How was I to know?
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Sakura in a wind that blows
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And it looks like its snowing in Tokyo
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
How was I to know?
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
How was I to know?
Am Em
From a window in the sky
Am Em
Looking down on Tokyo lights
F Em
Saw my dreams go drifting by
Amaj7
Kumo ka
Andy Warhol said the same
I’ve had my fifteen minutes of fame
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
Planes above us, trains below
Destination Tokyo
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
From a rain wet Tokyo street
All the stars shine up at me
That’s not how its meant to be
Hoshi ka
As the sunlight fades away
Saints and sinners come out to play
All the lights are as bright as day
Tokyo sunset
Tokyo tower in orange light
Pointing up into the night
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
Hell above us, heaven below
No-one there to tell us so
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
All the people that you meet
Between the asphalt and concrete
Weave their dreams on Tokyo streets
Sabishii
As the sunlight fades away
Saints and sinners come out to play
All the lights are bright as day
Tokyo sunset
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Space above us, Space below
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Shadows in the shape of Tokyo
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
How was I to know?
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
How was I to know?

Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And it looks like its snowing in Tokyo
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
How was I to know?

How was I to know?

Looking down on Tokyo lights
