[Intro]
Gm Ab x4
 
[Verse 1]
Gm
Friday night I'm going nowhere
Ab                            Gm         Ab
All the lights are changing green to red
Gm
Turning over TV stations
Ab                           Gm    Ab
Situations running through my head
Ab
Looking back through time
               Ab
You know it's clear that I've been blind
             Gm   Ab
I've been a fool
   Gm
To open up my heart
                Ab                         Gm        Ab
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
 
Fm
 
[Verse 2]
Gm
Saturday I'm running wild
    Ab                           Gm         Ab
And all the lights are changing red to green
Gm
Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
Ab                         Gm           Ab
Chemicals all rushing in my bloodstream
     Gm
Only wish that you were here
                Ab
You know I'm seeing it so clear
            Gm   Ab
I've been afraid
    Gm
To show you how I really feel
Ab                         Gm                Ab
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
 
[Chorus]
Eb
If you want it
Bb
Come and get it
F               Gm
Crying out loud
Eb
The love that I was
Bb
Giving you was
F        Ab
Never in doubt
Eb              Bb
Let go your heart
                F
Let go your head
            Bb
And feel it now
Eb              Bb
Let go your heart
                F
Let go your head
               Bb
And feel it now
Gm    Ab Gm Ab    Gm Ab
Ab
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon
 
[Verse 3]
Eb
Sunday all the lights of London
Bb              Gm         Ab
Shining, sky is fading red to blue
Gm
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
        Ab                            Gm       Ab
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Gm
Turning back for home
                Ab
You know I'm feeling so alone
         Gm     Ab
I can't believe
Gm
Climbing on the stair
        Ab
I turn around to see you smiling there
  Gm            Ab
In front of me
 
[Chorus]
Eb
If you want it
Bb
Come and get it
F               Gm
Crying out loud
Eb
The love that I was
Bb
Giving you was
F        Ab
Never in doubt
Eb              Bb
Let go your heart
                F
Let go your head
            Bb
And feel it now
Eb              Bb
Let go your heart
                F
Let go your head
               Bb
And feel it now
Eb                 Bb
Let go of your heart
                  F
Let go of your head
             Bb
And feel it now
 
Eb                 Bb
Let go of your heart
                  F
Let go of your head
             Bb
And feel it now
Gm   Ab  Gm   Ab  Gm   Ab  Gm   Ab  Gm   (Gm)
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

Agreed with first comment that the F in the chorus should be an Fm. Other than that, best chord layout for this song I've seen.

I like it, although the F in the chorus should be Fm. He also does some fiddly bits on the Gm to make it sound less melancholy, but it's fine :)
