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