Verse:
   B
hello stranger it’s been oh so long
   Bmaj7
since we rode our luck where we once belonged
 E                    B
I think of you sometimes when the air is clear

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

   B
gets out of sync and time plays tricks
   Bmaj7
old visions of you are where this boy sticks
 E
i seen you in these books i read
    B
are you still being born at breakneck speed?
F#
sometimes there’s no confession on this earth
E
that will not leave you bound

B

G#m       E     B   Eb
Listen to the streetcars breathing
G#m       E     B   Eb
The night is young and life is calling

Lift your eyes the world is watching

Verse:

all those priceless jewels that you kept entwined?

I sometimes here your name when the day gets slow
              F#
I wonder did you know that I left you’re house praying
       E
While those words I spoke hung upside down?
