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
                         
You can call up to heaven
         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
