Key: A
Introduction:
Am G
From the mountain tops down to the sunny street,
G13 F E7
A different drum is playing a different kind of beat.
Am G
It's like a mystery that never ends,
F#º Aº E7
I see you crying and I want to kill your friends.
Chorus
A7M F#m
I hear your footsteps in the street,
Bm
It won't be long before we meet,
Bm7 E7
It's obvious.
A7M Fm
Just count me in and count me out and
Bm
I'll be waiting for the shout,
Bm7 E7
Oblivious...
Verse 2
Am G
Met Mo and she's okay, said no one really changed,
G13 F E7
Got different badges but they wear them just the same.
Am G Ebº F#º
But down by the ballroom I recognized that flaming fountain
Aº E7
In those kindred caring eyes.
A7M F#m
I hear your footsteps in the street,
Bm
It won't be long before we meet,
Bm7 E7
It's obvious.
A7M Fm
Just count me in and count me out and
Bm
I'll be waiting for the shout,
Bm7 E7
Oblivious...
F7M C7M
I hope it haunts me 'til I'm hopeless,
G7M D7M
I hope it hits you when you go,
A7M B7M
And sometimes on the edge of sleeping
F E7
It rises up to let me know it's not so deep,
Am
I'm not so slow.
A7M F#m
I hear your footsteps in the street,
Bm
It won't be long before we meet,
Bm7 E7
It's obvious.
A7M Fm

I'll be waiting for the shout,
Bm7 E7
Oblivious...
Verse 3
Am G
They're calling all the shots, they'll call and say they phoned,
G13 F E7
They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone.
Am G
And like a funny film, it's kinda cute
They've bought the bullets and there's no one left to shoot.
A7M F#m
I hear your footsteps in the street,
Bm
It won't be long before we meet,
Bm7 E7
It's obvious.
A7M Fm
Just count me in and count me out and
Bm
I'll be waiting for the shout,
Bm7 E7
Oblivious...
