D Em G Bm A7 --2----x----3----2----3-| --3----x----x----3----2-| --2----x----x----4----2-| --x----2----x----4----2-| --x----2----2----2----x-| --x----x----3----2----x-| D Em G Bm It s chilly wind that blows, Church Street in the morning D Em G D It s a hard, hard age resting heavy on my mind D Em G Bm And Hannah cries soft as the front door slowly closes Em Em G D And she is not the only one I ve left behind Em G D A7 D Em G Bm I can still see you dancing in the street light D Em G D Baltimore smile and rain drops dripping from your hair D Em G Bm Once I held you close and you wrapped your legs around Em Em G D I woke up in the night, it was not you, you were not there Em G D A7 D Em G Bm It s not the end of the world, just this country as I know it D Em G D I ve been across and back, I ve seen the high and chosen few D Em G Bm I will take the hit, because I m stronger and I know it Em Em G D Take the cap off of the rocket boys and tell me when it s due Em G D A7 D Em G Bm I ve known lots of people , lots of drifters, lots of rejects, D Em G D Lots of clowns, lots of lovers, lots of liars, lots of thieves D Em G Bm And I have been the cat, I ve been the mouth, I ve been the closer Em Em G D I am like a vault, your family's secret's safe with me Em G D A7 D Em G Bm So forgive me if I drift off in the silent folds of memories D Em G D Bout the battles that I fought in war and the ones I ve loved before D Em G Bm Cause I have lived through darkness, hope and lonely dying kisses Em Em G D And I have seen the memory walk angry out the door. Em G D A7 D Em G Bm And I have been left for losers, left for heartache, left for money D Em G D And I have been left alone, left behind and left for dead D Em G Bm And you can take the pieces there and fight for recognition Em Em G D But I will take the memories and silence in my head Em G D A7
