Verse:
    A minorAm  C majorC            G+G      FF
I walk alone, down hard streets in this razor wind.
      A minorAm           C majorC    G+G     FF
Having the same streetlight conversations, again and again.
           DmDm A minorAm          G+G
With the same dark spirits, to the same dark angels.

      A minorAm   FF  G+G       A minorAm  FF  G+G
- In this night rain city, in this night rain city.
       A minorAm     FF   G+G
Where mercy fades and shadows fall.
     A minorAm   FF   G+G       A minorAm  FF  G+G
How did Heaven get so far from this night rain city?

         A minorAm  C majorC             G+G     FF
This once was a diamond, now it's just some old tired rivertown.
         A minorAm  C majorC        G+G        FF
The wing and the wheel, man, they all left for higher ground.
            DmDm A minorAm           G+G
And they're not comin' back, they're never comin' back to this

      A minorAm   FF  G+G      A minorAm  FF  G+G
- To this night rain city, this night rain city.
       A minorAm     FF   G+G
Where mercy fades and shadows fall.
     A minorAm   FF   G+G       A minorAm  FF  G+G
How did Heaven get so far from this night rain city?

Verse:
     G+G
When it storms like hell, and the river is risin',
  FF
I stand on the levee and I find myself prayin' that
 G+G
This time, maybe this time, it'll just keep on comin'
   FF          G+G
And wash all this sorrow away. Wash it all away.

Outro:
      A minorAm   FF  G+G      A minorAm  FF  G+G

       A minorAm     FF   G+G
Where mercy fades and shadows fall.
     A minorAm   FF   G+G       A minorAm  FF  G+G
How did Heaven get so far from this night rain city? -
                A minorAm  FF  G+G
It's always cold here, in this night rain city.
               A minorAm  FF   G+G
And it's dark here, in this night rain city.
