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