Verse
F
Count the steps around the park
G7
Consider drinking in the yard
A# F
Hang the words of a perfect stranger in the hallways of my heart
F
'Cause all the blessings are somebody else's
G7
They're flowers in my neighbor's pot
A#
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
A#
Your fast machine
Dm A#
Always holding your love supreme
F
Our 45's
A#
Spinning out of time
Dm C Dm C A#
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Verse 2]
F
Are my hopes finally gonna waste me
G7
C#m I the worst compass I could know
A#
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
G7
Or the endless road from the past
A#
But while you're praying at the 90s
C
They're carving up anything that lasts
[Chorus]
F
But I'm still in sight
A#
Your fast machine
Dm A#
Always holding your love supreme
F
Our 45's
A#
Spinning out of time
Dm C Dm C A#
But honey, I'm still on your side

[Verse 3]
F
There ain't no book that I can live by
G7
Just these naggings I can't shake
A#
C# hum coming from the basement
F
C# little crying out for crying out's sake
F
'Cause if I can learn to love your shadow
G7
When your shadow hits the light
A#
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
A#
Your fast machine
Dm A#
Always holding your love supreme
F
Our 45's
A#
Spinning out of time
Dm C Dm C A#
But honey, I'm still on your side

I'm still on your side
