Verse
D#
Count the steps around the park
F7
Consider drinking in the yard
G# D#
Hang the words of a perfect stranger in the hallways of my heart
D#
'Cause all the blessings are somebody else's
F7
They're flowers in my neighbor's pot
G#
I'm torn exactly into two pieces
A#
One who wants you and one who's gone dark
[Chorus]
D#
But I'm still in sight
G#
Your fast machine
Cm G#
Always holding your love supreme
D#
Our 45's
G#
Spinning out of time
Cm A# Cm A# G#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Verse 2]
D#
Are my hopes finally gonna waste me
F7
Bm I the worst compass I could know
G#
So I took the bus across the bridge
D#
Sold my bedroom from my home
D#
Maybe it's the East Coast in the music
F7
Or the endless road from the past
G#
But while you're praying at the 90s
A#
They're carving up anything that lasts
[Chorus]
D#
But I'm still in sight
G#
Your fast machine
Cm G#
Always holding your love supreme
D#
Our 45's
G#
Spinning out of time
Cm A# Cm A# G#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Bridge]
D#
A# D# G# A#
Now you're just a stranger that I know best
A# D# G# A#
Now you're just a stranger that I know best
A# D# G# A#
Now I'm just a stranger that you know best
[Verse 3]
D#
There ain't no book that I can live by
F7
Just these naggings I can't shake
G#
B hum coming from the basement
D#
B little crying out for crying out's sake
D#
'Cause if I can learn to love your shadow
F7
When your shadow hits the light
G#
And there ain't no trace of what we've been through
A#
Then I'll shout it till the day that I die
[Chorus]
D#
I am still in sight
G#
Your fast machine
Cm G#
Always holding your love supreme
D#
Our 45's
G#
Spinning out of time
Cm A# Cm A# G#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Outro]
D# A# G#
I'm still on your side
