Verse
A#
Count the steps around the park
C7
Consider drinking in the yard
D# A#
Hang the words of a perfect stranger in the hallways of my heart
A#
'Cause all the blessings are somebody else's
C7
They're flowers in my neighbor's pot
D#
I'm torn exactly into two pieces
F
One who wants you and one who's gone dark
[Chorus]
A#
But I'm still in sight
D#
Your fast machine
Gm D#
Always holding your love supreme
A#
Our 45's
D#
Spinning out of time
Gm F Gm F D#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Verse 2]
A#
Are my hopes finally gonna waste me
C7
F#m I the worst compass I could know
D#
So I took the bus across the bridge
A#
Sold my bedroom from my home
A#
Maybe it's the East Coast in the music
C7
Or the endless road from the past
D#
But while you're praying at the 90s
F
They're carving up anything that lasts
[Chorus]
A#
But I'm still in sight
D#
Your fast machine
Gm D#
Always holding your love supreme
A#
Our 45's
D#
Spinning out of time
Gm F Gm F D#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Bridge]
A#
F A# D# F
Now you're just a stranger that I know best
F A# D# F
Now you're just a stranger that I know best
F A# D# F
Now I'm just a stranger that you know best
[Verse 3]
A#
There ain't no book that I can live by
C7
Just these naggings I can't shake
D#
F# hum coming from the basement
A#
F# little crying out for crying out's sake
A#
'Cause if I can learn to love your shadow
C7
When your shadow hits the light
D#
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]
A#
I am still in sight
D#
Your fast machine
Gm D#
Always holding your love supreme
A#
Our 45's
D#
Spinning out of time
Gm F Gm F D#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Outro]
A# F D#
I'm still on your side
