[Verse]
E E6 E7M E
Well, I came to the city
A7M A6 A7M A6
I was running from the past
E E6 E7M E6
My heart was bleeding
A7M A6 A7M A6
And it hurt my bones to laugh
E E6 E7M E
Stayed in the city
A7M A6 A7M A6
No exception to the rules, to the rule
E E6 E7M E
He was born to love me
A7M A6 A7M A6
I was raised to be his fool, his fool
[Chorus]
A A
Walk that line, torn apart
A G#m E
Spend your whole life trying
A A
Ride that train, free your heart
A G#m E E6 E7M E6
It's midnight up in Harlem
[Bridge]
A7M A6 A7M A6
[Verse]
E E6 E7M E
I went down to the river
A7M A6 A7M A6
And I took a look around
E E6 E7M E
There were old man's shoes
A7M A6 A7M A6
There were needles on the ground
E E6 E7M E
No more mysteries, baby
A7M A6 A7M A6
No more secrets, no more clues
E E6 E7M E
The stars are out there
A7M A6 A7M A6
You can almost see the moon
[Pre-chorus]
A
The streets are windy
G# C#m B A
And the subway's closing down
A
Gonna carry this dream
G# C#m B A
To the other side of town.
[Chorus]
A A
Walk that line, torn apart
A G#m E
Spend your whole life trying
A A
Ride that train, free your heart
A G#m E E6 E7M E6
It's midnight up in Harlem
E E7M E6 E
[Instrumental]
