Verse
C#
Count the steps around the park
D#7
Consider drinking in the yard
F# C#
Hang the words of a perfect stranger in the hallways of my heart
C#
'Cause all the blessings are somebody else's
D#7
They're flowers in my neighbor's pot
F#
I'm torn exactly into two pieces
G#
One who wants you and one who's gone dark
[Chorus]
C#
But I'm still in sight
F#
Your fast machine
A#m F#
Always holding your love supreme
C#
Our 45's
F#
Spinning out of time
A#m G# A#m G# F#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Verse 2]
C#
Are my hopes finally gonna waste me
D#7
Am I the worst compass I could know
F#
So I took the bus across the bridge
C#
Sold my bedroom from my home
C#
Maybe it's the East Coast in the music
D#7
Or the endless road from the past
F#
But while you're praying at the 90s
G#
They're carving up anything that lasts
[Chorus]
C#
But I'm still in sight
F#
Your fast machine
A#m F#
Always holding your love supreme
C#
Our 45's
F#
Spinning out of time
A#m G# A#m G# F#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Bridge]
C#
G# C# F# G#
Now you're just a stranger that I know best
G# C# F# G#
Now you're just a stranger that I know best
G# C# F# G#
Now I'm just a stranger that you know best
[Verse 3]
C#
There ain't no book that I can live by
D#7
Just these naggings I can't shake
F#
A hum coming from the basement
C#
A little crying out for crying out's sake
C#
'Cause if I can learn to love your shadow
D#7
When your shadow hits the light
F#
And there ain't no trace of what we've been through
G#
Then I'll shout it till the day that I die
[Chorus]
C#
I am still in sight
F#
Your fast machine
A#m F#
Always holding your love supreme
C#
Our 45's
F#
Spinning out of time
A#m G# A#m G# F#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Outro]
C# G# F#
I'm still on your side
