C F

The streets of my town are not what they were

C F

They are haloed in anger, bitter and hurt

C F

And it's not so you'd notice but it's a sinister thing

F C F C F

Like the wheels of ambition at the christening

C F

So I went out walking on the streets of the dead

C

With a chip on my shoulder

F G

And a voice in my head

C

It said you have been brought here

F

Though you don't know what for

C F

Well the mystery train is coming right to your door

G C/G G C/G

And I hear you calling, you don't have to call so loud

G C/G G F

I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud

C/G F

You can run all night but we can take you where

C F C F

You can cry like an angel

C

There were high school night dances

F

When we played stump the band

C F G

We were raising each other in a strange land

Am

There were hard pills to swallow

F

But we drank 'em all down

C

Oh the nights were too short then

F

And now they're a little too long

G C/G G C/G

I hear you calling and you don't have to call so loud

G C/G G F

I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud

C/G F

You can run all night but we can take you where

C

You can shout out in anger

You can laugh like a fool

F

You can cry like an angel

G Dm Am F G Dm F G

C

So look homeward baby

F

Keep your eyes on the sky

C

They will never forgive you

F G

So don't ask them to try

C F

This is your party, I know it's not your ideal

C

May we all find salvation

F

In professions that heal

C/G Bb

I hear you calling, you don't have to call so loud

C/G G F

I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud

C/G F

You can run all night but we can take you where

C

You can shout out an answer

You can laugh like a fool

You can call up to heaven

G C/G

We'll be listening to you

C

You can sing hallelujah

You can fly like a bird

F C F

You can cry like angel when there are no words
