Intro: Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F# (2x)
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
I keep on running but I can't get to the mountain
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
Behind me lie the years that I mis-spent
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
And I've been sitting like a flower in the fountain
Em9 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven sent
A4(7)
Gonna try my best to get there
C9
But I can't afford the bus fare
D9/F#
And the storm that's rolling over
A4(7) C9
Man, it makes me wanna cry
Em7 D9/F#
When I was told
C9 D9/F#
The streets were paved with gold
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
And it be known time is getting on when we were young
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun
( Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F# )
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
Woke up sleeping on a train that was bound for nowhere
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
The echoes that I could hear were all my own
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
The world had turned and I'd become a stranger
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
Got tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone
A4(7)
Gonna try my best to get there
C9
But I can't afford the bus fare
D9/F#
And the storm that's rolling over
A4(7)
Man, it makes me wanna cry
C9
Feel the cold against my shoulder
D9/F#
When it comes on the winter
A4(7)
And it seems to last forever
C9 D9/F# Em7
And it makes me wanna, makes me wanna cry
Em7 D9/F#
... I was told
C9 D9/F#
The streets were paved with gold
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
And it be known time is getting on when we were young
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
It's alright, if you dance with me tonight
Em7 D9/F# C9 D9/F#
We'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun
