Prophetstown chords by Elway

B F# G#m F# E G#m F# (play twice)

        B
It's a sordid sort of feeling
F#        G#m
When you learn to live with spite.
        E
It's a desperate kind of living
            G#m             F#
When you're burning up the night.
         B
Getting sick of all the drinking
F#       G#m
Getting sicker every day.
               E                 F#            B
Cause I can't say the things I really want to say

B                        F#       G#m
I remember when Chicago seemed a million miles away
F#      E                               G#m          F#
I was chained by quiet longing on that Independence Day
   B                        F#       G#m
A month across the country built in all I learned from you
   E                        F#                 B
I sang those thoughts away just like I always do.

B                                                E
It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
          G#m            F#
But I'll remember every step
               B                                     E
I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
               G#m                F#
Please just remember I'm not the one who left
And I never will

B F# G#m F# E G#m F# (play twice)

         B                           F#    G#m
All the aches and shits and quivers hurdle in with morning light
F#     E                                  G#m                F#
and a somber sense of longing steals my breath and grips my spine
       B                    F#        G#m
I can feel the salty ocean suck the moisture from my skin
             E                 F#          B
And I know staying here will surely do us in

        C#m                   E                      B         F#    E
And I walked on down to that lonely shoal, where my best hopes go to die
          C#m              E                    B         F#     E
I thought I will keep you in my pen, until the ink wells all go dry
          B              F#           B
And I'll keep it like a secret every day

B                                                E
It's been an age, it's been an era, it's been a lifetime.
          G#m            F#
But I'll remember every step
               B                                     E
I'll cross my heart when we cross paths across the country
               G#m                F#
Please just remember I'm not the one who left
                 B
