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