G C
Restless hearts walking lonely
Am F
down the snowy back street lines
G C
Is this the part where the red lights
Am F
and the pale moon should sway in time?
Dm G C
But outside there's no music
C Am F
The wind blows as cars go by
Am F
It'd be so easy to run back to you tonight
C
But as long as you're still living
G
A few short blocks away
Am
Don't want my heart to go there
F C
My feet to walk that way
F C
Don't want my words to come out wrong
Am F
But every night just seems too long
C
I don't think that I can stay
C
Don't think that I can stay
G C
And isn't life sweet and lovely
Am F
when you know who's by your side
G C
Don't gotta ask the god above me
Am F
Where I should run and hide
Dm G C
But someone said "Time's a-wastin'"
Am F
Well I'm not nearly twenty-five
Am
Should I fear a lonely death
F
When I'm barely half alive
C
But as long as you're still living
G
A few short blocks away
Am
Don't want my heart to go there
F C
My feet to walk that way
F C
Don't want my words to come out wrong
Am F
But every night just seems too long
C
I don't think that I can stay
C
Don't think that I can stay

C F C
Even in the morning
F G
You can't even see the signs
C F C
He can't walk on water
F C
And you can't read between these lines
Am F
So why do you stay
G
when it seems so hard to breathe?
Am F
From Stradbroke to highways
G
His face is all you see
Dm
And as long as you're still living
C
a few short blocks away
Dm
My heart will not go there
Dm F C
But my feet won't let me stay
