INTRO 

A  G  D  A   2x 

verse 1 

A                G                     D              A 
day break on the city streets from the corner of her eye 
A                G                   D              A 
pass the man who holds the box he'll try to get inside 
Bm         D                     D      Dsus2     A 
faces look back at me from their places on the wall 
D                  Dsus2            A 
above the girl who held the shining looking glass 

A  G  D  A   2x 

verse 2 

         A         G                D             A 
she said all faces in here, have an undercoat of blue 
       A                         G                     
if you look real close with this glass of mine 
        D               A 
you can pick out every hue 
Bm               D                 D       Dsus2   A 
I took the glass from her hand and held it to the sky 
D                    
I took one glimpse, I slipped and fell 
Dsus2              A 
into the other side 



D                                     A 
sometimes I can't see how far we've come 
D                                     A 
sometimes I feel like me body's gone numb 
D                                     A 
sometimes I can't see how far we've come 
      G                D        
but I step back, and I look again 
       Dsus2            A 
and my chains come undone 

JAM 1 (short) 

A  G  D  A      Play progression 4x, fast hits on G,D 

verse 3 

A               G            D                    A   
back out on the sidewalk now crashing through the night 
A          G             D               A   
feel first breath of air bringing in the sun 
       Bm            D                       D  Dsus2       A 
on the bench ahead a man sat, playing national guitar 
D                                 Dsus2                 A 
I didn't recognize the tune but I dropped change in his jar 

Pre-Chorus BRIDGE 

C# 
the first notes to hit my ears didn't sound quite right 
D 
but I let the sound wash over me 
       Dsus2              A       Asus4   A   Asus2 
and it got me through the night 

Chorus 1x 

JAM 2 (LONGER) 

A  G  D  A     Play progression 8x, fast hits on G,D 

(Play progression 8x or as many as you wish) 

BRIDGE (TAB below) 

A   
step inside take a look at the tapestry untied 
F                 G            Em 
set loose all the details that occupy your mind 
Am      G/B   C       G/B     A       Asus2 A              
can you see a picture that is coming into view 
    Bm                   D        E             A   Asus4    A  Asus2 
the journey started long ago, now see the story through 

D                    A 
see, how far we've come 
D                           A 
feel, feel, feel what has begun 
D                                     A 
we can be, be, be headed towards the sun 
      G                         D            A 
if we free ourselves from these chains of inspection 

JAM on A till end
