INTRO: Am C G D (2x)Verse 1:
Am Come, and steal my thoughts away G Thief of my identity F E I was holding on to decency, reality Am Come, and take me for a while G Up to your abundant pace F E I?ll be your sidecar if you want to race, want to raceF Put your hand on mine C And take me from this tired ride G Take me from this early night Am From the sea and rain and countryside F If you talk to me then soon C I?ll be your accomplice in words G And we will talk only in verse E Talk only in verseVerse 2:
Am I will leave the ones I love G Leave them for the years to come F E Even though I may be doing wrong, doing wrong Am I will follow in your steps G Walk out to the station cold F E Buy a ticket and and then slowly go, slowly goSYNTH G O - SPONKEN WORD PART (2x) Dm F C GF In this place and time C Easy is the first escape G I got money I need no disguise Am I?m a citizen and city wise F In this time and place C There is no one who will shoot you down G No one who will take a girl A And tell her she can?t have the worldVerse 3:
Dm Boy, you don?t know what you want C It isn?t what you think it is Bb A All the dreams, and guilt and loneliness, loneliness Dm Boy, if we were to be friends C Subtle is the art required Bb A To draw the evil from this lonely pyre, lonely pyreOUTRO: "FROM MY F ITH" PART G D A A G D A A repeat it until it ends/fades outBb Take this hand from me F And guide me round your tools of work C Fashion me into your junior clerk Dm Let me live in shadows of your words Bb When things get tough for you F As they did when you came up through the ranks C You can borrow from my faith A From my faith, from my faith...
