Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse:
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

Chorus:
               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

Chorus:
           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

Instrumental:
G Dm  Am  F  G  Dm  F  G

Verse:
    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

Chorus:
           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
