Intro:
D MajorD D D MajorD D

Verse 1:
   D MajorD           D MajorD
I was walking after midnight
   F# minorF#m       F# minorF#m
Three AM, to be exact
E minorEm           E minorEm
 Crossing city limits
    G+G         G+G
A augmentedA heavy coat upon my back

Verse 2:
     D MajorD             D MajorD
Counting strangers as I passed them
     F# minorF#m         F# minorF#m
All were hurried, eyes ahead
        E minorEm           E minorEm
Oh there is no trusting after midnight
         G+G          G+G
(When) we're just looking for our bed

Verse 3:
   D MajorD              D MajorD
But I stared out from the overpass
    F# minorF#m      F# minorF#m
On the downtown haze
     E minorEm            E minorEm
Hailed a cab and headed toward it
         G+G G MajorG
In a bleary daze

Verse 4:
     F# minorF#m           F# minorF#m
Well, the driver was slipping out
   G+G         G+G
Could hardly keep awake
     E minorEm          E minorEm
I prodded him with bony finger
     G+G            G+G
And we rode swerving to someplace

Chorus:
A augmentedA   A augmentedA
Riding
  G+G   G+G
Oh, riding
A augmentedA   A augmentedA G+G G MajorG
Riding

Verse 5:
     D MajorD             D MajorD
I pointed to the densest (o') neon
    F# minorF#m       F# minorF#m
Made a motion to depart
        E minorEm             E minorEm
When I stepped out the streets were empty
     G+G          G+G
I let the color fill my heart

Verse 6:
      D MajorD            D MajorD
And with it full I asked forgiveness
    F# minorF#m            F# minorF#m
With it full I asked for strength
      E minorEm          E minorEm
I asked it of the swirling neon
      G+G            G+G
And let my wish list turn to blank

Verse 7:
    F# minorF#m            F# minorF#m
It was enough to pose the question
  G+G        G+G
I expected no reply
     E minorEm            E minorEm
But spun around found my way home
       G+G           G+G
(And) hit the sheets by morning time

Chorus:
A augmentedA   A augmentedA
Riding
  G+G   G+G
Oh, riding
A augmentedA   A augmentedA G+G G MajorG
Riding
