Verse
F#
Count the steps around the park
G#7
Consider drinking in the yard
B F#
Hang the words of a perfect stranger in the hallways of my heart
F#
'Cause all the blessings are somebody else's
G#7
They're flowers in my neighbor's pot
B
I'm torn exactly into two pieces
C#
One who wants you and one who's gone dark
[Chorus]
F#
But I'm still in sight
B
Your fast machine
D#m B
Always holding your love supreme
F#
Our 45's
B
Spinning out of time
D#m C# D#m C# B
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Verse 2]
F#
Are my hopes finally gonna waste me
G#7
Dm I the worst compass I could know
B
So I took the bus across the bridge
F#
Sold my bedroom from my home
F#
Maybe it's the East Coast in the music
G#7
Or the endless road from the past
B
But while you're praying at the 90s
C#
They're carving up anything that lasts
[Chorus]
F#
But I'm still in sight
B
Your fast machine
D#m B
Always holding your love supreme
F#
Our 45's
B
Spinning out of time

But honey, I'm still on your side

[Verse 3]
F#
There ain't no book that I can live by
G#7
Just these naggings I can't shake
B
D hum coming from the basement
F#
D little crying out for crying out's sake
F#
'Cause if I can learn to love your shadow
G#7
When your shadow hits the light
B
And there ain't no trace of what we've been through
C#
Then I'll shout it till the day that I die
[Chorus]
F#
I am still in sight
B
Your fast machine
D#m B
Always holding your love supreme
F#
Our 45's
B
Spinning out of time
D#m C# D#m C# B
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Outro]
F# C# B
I'm still on your side
