A                                  E/G#
On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
F#m                                      E
I thought I saw you standing there
D                              E
Snow falling all around you
               A                       E/A  D/A  A
Like a silent prayer
A                                     E/G#
Once on the streets in New York City
F#m                                      E
With the jazz and the sin in the air
D                     E
Once on a cold L.A. freeway
            A
I was going nowhere

Chorus:
         Dmaj9         C#m
And it's sad, but it's true
       D             E        A
Well I thought it was really you
       Dmaj9       C#m
Just a face in the crowd
     D     E         A
On a bus to St. Cloud.


Verse 2:
(Esus) A                                       E/G#
         In a church in downtown New Orleans
F#m                                      E
I got down on my knees and prayed
D                              E
I wept in the arms of Jesus
                    A
For the choice you made
(E) A                                                 E/G#
      We were just getting to the good part baby
F#m
Sliding past the mystery
E        D
Oh it's just like you,
E                    A
Just like you, to disagree


Chorus:
         Dmaj9            C#m
And it's strange, but it's true
       D                   E                 A
You do slip right, right out of my, out my, view
       Dmaj9       C#m
Like a face in the crowd
     D     E         A
On a bus to St. Cloud.


Bridge:
E/G#       F#m                C#m
   And you chase me like a shadow
        D        E          A
And you haunt me like a ghost
    D
And I love you some
    C#m
And I hate you some
      Bm                         E
Baby, I miss you,   miss you the most
