[C]The streets of my town are not what they [F]were
They are haloed in [C]anger, [F]bitter and hurt
And it's [C]not so you'd notice but it's a sinister [F]thing
[F]Like the wheels of ambi[C]tion at the [F]christeni[C]ng[F]
[C]So I went out walking on the streets of the [F]dead
With a chip on my [C]shoulder
And a [F]voice in my h[G]ead
It s[C]aid you have been brought here
Though you don't know what [F]for
Well the mystery [C]train is coming [F]right to your door
And I hear you [G]cal[C/G]ling, you don't have to [G]call so [C/G]loud
I see you [G]fall[C/G]ing and you don't have to [G]walk so [F]proud
You can [C/G]run all night but we can take you w[F]here
You can [C]cry like an angel[F][C][F]
[C]There were high school night dances
When we played stump the [F]band
We were raising each [C]other [F]in a strange [G]land
There were [Am]hard pills to swallow
But we drank 'em all [F]down
Oh the nights were too [C]short then
And now they're a [F]little too long
I hear you [G]calli[C/G]ng and you don't have to [G]call so [C/G]loud
I see you [G]fallin[C/G]g and you don't have to [G]walk so [F]proud
You can [C/G]run all night but we can take you w[F]here
You can [C]shout out in anger
You can laugh like a fool
You can cry like an angel[F]
[G] [Dm] [Am] [F] [G] [Dm] [F] [G]
So l[C]ook homeward baby
Keep your eyes on the [F]sky
They will never for[C]give you
So d[F]on't ask them to [G]try
[C]This is your party, I know it's not your [F]ideal
May we all find sa[C]lvation
In [F]professions that heal
I hear you [C/G]calling, you don't have to [Bb]call so loud
I see you [C/G]falling and you don't have to [G]walk so [F]proud
You can [C/G]run all night but we can take you w[F]here
You can [C]shout out an answer
You can laugh like a fool
You can call up to heaven
We'll be [G]listening to [C/G]you
You can sing [C]hallelujah
You can fly like a bird
You can cry like angel [F]when there are no words[C][F]
