Verse:
   BB
hello stranger it’s been oh so long
   BMaj7Bmaj7
since we rode our luck where we once belonged
 E MajorE                    BB
I think of you sometimes when the air is clear

I wonder are you near?
F#F#
sometimes the end is sweet
           E MajorE
though when it comes to you my poor heartbeat

   BB
gets out of sync and time plays tricks
   BMaj7Bmaj7
old visions of you are where this boy sticks
 E MajorE
i seen you in these books i read
    BB
are you still being born at breakneck speed?
F#F#
sometimes there’s no confession on this earth
E MajorE
that will not leave you bound

BB

G# minorG#m       E MajorE     BB   Eb MajorEb
Listen to the streetcars breathing
G# minorG#m       E MajorE     BB   Eb MajorEb
The night is young and life is calling
G# minorG#m       E MajorE     BB   F#F#
I’ll see you when the dream gets moving
G# minorG#m       E MajorE     BB   Eb MajorEb
Lift your eyes the world is watching

and after all we both know how this ends

we both know we must give back what we spend

   BB
hello stranger did you ever find
     BMaj7Bmaj7
all those priceless jewels that you kept entwined?
 E MajorE                     BB
I sometimes here your name when the day gets slow
              F#F#
I wonder did you know that I left you’re house praying
       E MajorE
While those words I spoke hung upside down?

BB
