Intro:
B minorBm E MajorE G+G Asus2Asus2 x2

Verse:
B minorBm      E MajorE        G+G
Blowing trash in bitter wind,
      Asus2Asus2        B minorBm
zip my sweatshirt to the top
        E MajorE             G+G
Shoulders high and hands are hid,
        Asus2Asus2         B minorBm
in pockets not quite adequate
        E MajorE          G+G
Sidewalk take me to the fire,
       Asus2Asus2        B minorBm
that will melt my frozen soul
          E MajorE          G+G
Please don't let me stay this way,
     Asus2Asus2
I'm so cold and all alone

Chorus:
B minorBm
Glass and steel cut through the wind

a lake storm sent this way
           G+G
Dividing up the avenues,
           Asus2Asus2
I walk to give away the blues,
             D MajorD   C# minorC#m Asus2Asus2 B minorBm
and take the day away

Verse:
B minorBm     E MajorE             G+G
Walking quickly through the rain,
        Asus2Asus2       B minorBm
I make no contact with my eyes
            E MajorE             G+G
I weave through coats that hang on men,
     Asus2Asus2       B minorBm
she in nowhere in my sight
      E MajorE          G+G
People stand in corner crowds,
           Asus2Asus2          B minorBm
with eyes that point down to their wrists,
       E MajorE           G+G
Wishing they were warm inside,
      Asus2Asus2         B minorBm
as they breathe into their fists

Chorus:
B minorBm
Glass and steel cut through the wind

a lake storm sent this way
           G+G
Dividing up the avenues,
           Asus2Asus2
I walk to give away the blues,
             D MajorD   C# minorC#m Asus2Asus2 B minorBm
and take the day away


I am pretty sure that this is right. I don't know if the D MajorD and C# minorC#m chords are entirely
correct, but the bass note of the chords are D MajorD and C#. The 0 on the e string is kinda
hard to hear on the cd, but if you slow down the song, you'll hear that it is there.
