Bill Rinehart guitar
Glen Campbell guitar
[C]On the [Bb]streets you look again
At the [C]places you have been
Or the [G]moments that you thought
Where am I [D]going
Though the [Bb]walls are like the dead
They r[C]eflect the things you've said
And the [G]echoes in your head continue [D]showing
Near the [C]castles you can build
Out of [Am]dreams you half fullfilled
Won't [Em]keep out all of the ill wind that is blowing
And you [C]look still for a trace
Of an [Fmaj7]opening in a place
Where you find the life that you were used to [C]knowing[C][Bb][C]
[C]You can [Bb]walk out in the night
And be [C]sure that its alright
To [G]exagerate the world that's only [D]being
You can [Bb]watch Regina dance
Through the [C]crystal panes of glass
Yet you [G]know that there's so much that she's not [D]seeing
Still you [C]hold one precious thought
After [Am]all this time you've sought
That she [Em]might be just protecting what she longs for
And her [C]eyes are veiled with black
Cause she [Fmaj7]plays she can look back
At the love she wanted so but says is no [C]more[C#][B][C#]
The lights [B]go on, commense the cold
As your [C#]senses will be sold
To the p[G#]arrot watchers mimicing no [D#]reasons
To [B]pretend that what they are
From the [C#]fact completely far
While the [G#]truth may be betrayal, lies and t[D#]reason
Build their [C#]towers in the sand
Down the [A#m]roads at their command
When the [Fm]kingdom is the innocence they're stealing
And [C#]infection easily spreads
To the [F#maj7]searching, twisted heads
As they team up to tear down each others [C#]feeli[B]ng[C#]
