Intro: D A D
D
You've been standin' on the corner for a thousand nights
A
It's the slowest corner known to man
Watchin' strange faces passin' 'neath the lights
D
With a bottle wavin' in your hand
You got just enough money for some nothin' to go
A
It ain't exactly what you planned
So lonesome that you can't even say hello
D
And no one seems to understand
G D
So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd
A D
The ones that only fit where they're not allowed
G D
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue.....
G
Travelin' light
D G
With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
D G D
A hole in your soul where the wind blows through
D
You wandered away from your childhood home
A
Nobody cared to trace the tracks you laid
You traveled by night and you traveled alone
D
Came to rest at a penny arcade
Well, the last shots over on a Saturday night
A
You wake up in the beam of a cop's flashlight
He asks you who you are as if you knew or cared
D
He asks you where you live and you say nowhere
G D
So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd
A D
The ones that only fit where they're not allowed
G D
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue.....

D G
With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
D G D
A hole in your soul where the wind blows through
solo (chords as verse)
D
I don't know where I got it, but, I got it the same
A
It's a feelin' that'll rip you apart
It follows me around like a part of my name
D
Like I'm born with a time bomb instead of a heart
G D
So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd
A D
The ones that only fit where they're not allowed
G D
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue.....

D G
With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through
D G D
A hole in your soul where the wind blows through
G D
Mixed up kid, join the crowd
A D
The ones that only fit, not allowed
G D
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue.....
