It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
Asus A E
F#m
Every time you gave them shelter
E
I know that kind of man
F#m
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
E F#m
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender,
E F#m EE4 F#m
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
D G D A
And sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
Asus A E
F#m
Not even laughter
E F#m
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
E
That is so high and wild
F#m
He'll never need to deal another
E F#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
E F#m E F#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
D G D
And then leaning on your window sill
A Asus A
E F#m
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
E
And taking from his wallet
F#m
An old schedule of trains, he'll say
E F#m
I told you when I came I was a stranger
E F#m E F#m
I told you when I came I was a stranger
D G D
But now another stranger seems
A Asus A
E F#m
As though they were the burden of some other
E
O you've seen that man before
F#m
His golden arm dispatching cards
E F#m
But now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger
E F#m
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
E F#m EE4 F#m
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.
D G D A
I hate to watch another tired man
Asus A
E
And while he talks his dreams to sleep
F#m
You notice there's a highway
E F#m
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
E F#m
It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder.
D G D
You tell him to come in sit down
A Asus A E
E F#m
The door is open you can't close your shelter
E
You try the handle of the road
F#m
It opens do not be afraid
E F#m
It's you my love, you who are the stranger
E F#m E F#m
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
D G D
Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
A Asus A
E F#m
I think it's time to board another
E F#m
Please understand, I never had a secret chart
E
To get me to the heart of this
F#m
Or any other matter
E
When he talks like this
F#m
You don't know what he's after
E
When he speaks like this,
F#mE
You don't care what he's after.
D G D
Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
A Asus A
E F#m
that they are building on some endless river
E
Then he leaves the platform
F#m
For the sleeping car that's warm
E F#m
You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter
E F#m
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
E F#m E F#m
And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
D G D A
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
Asus A E
F#m
Not even laughter
E F#m
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
E
That is so high and wild
F#m
He'll never need to deal another
E F#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
E F#m E F#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
