Mission Street
Vienna Teng
(Warm Strangers - 2004)
Intro: Dmaj7 Gm (2x)
Dmaj7 Gm
Mission Street is a striking dark-eyed stranger
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
Who speaks a language I don't know but long to learn
Dmaj7 Gm
Its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane
Dmaj7 Gm Dmaj7
As I sit as though awaiting some return
D7 G
And my hands are cold tonight
Em
I'm sleepless in this dark
Em A
Forgetting what it was I came to find
D7 G
And it seems that I've been wrong
Em
More than I've been right
Asus4 A
More than I've been right
Dmaj7 Gm
Mission Street calls out to me by name
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
Then hurries on before I've hardly turned my head
Dmaj7 Gm
Promises of answers muttered underneath her breath
Dmaj7 Gm D
Like an offering of contraband misread
D7 G
And my hands are cold tonight
Em
On the strings of this guitar
A
Looking for the chords of what I've left behind
D7 G
And it seems that I've been wrong
Em
More than I've been right
Asus4 A
More than I've been right
Interlude: Dmaj7 Gm (2x)
Dmaj7 Gm
Mission Street is alive at every hour
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
Like I've never been and feared I may not ever be
Dmaj7 Gm
A light so steady on the mountains in the distance
Dmaj7 Gm A
A solitude so deep it might awaken me
D7 G
Well my hands are cold tonight
Em
But the sky is bright with stars
A4 A
And I'm tearing through the veil that keeps me blind
D7 G
And it seems the more I'm wrong
Em
The more that I am right
Asus4 A
The more that I am right
