x[Intro]
G Gmaj7 G7 G6 G+ G G+ G6 G+ D7 D9
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7
Heaven sent the promised land.
G7 G6
Looks all right from where I stand,
G+ G G+ G6 G+ D7 D9
'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in.
G Gmaj7 G7 G6
Waiting on the first step, show me where the key is kept.
G+ G G+ G6 G+ D7 D9
Point me down the right line, because it's time
[Chorus]
G G7
To let me in from the cold.
C Am7
Turn my lead into gold,
G G7
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul,
D7 D9
And I think I've grown cold.
[Verse 2]
G
Flash the readies.
Gmaj7
Wots... uh the deal?
G7 G6
Got to make it to the next meal.
G+ G G+ G6 G+ D7 D9
Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel.
G Gmaj7
Mile after mile, stone after stone,
G7 G6
You turn to speak, but you're alone.
G+ G G+ G6 G+ D7 D9
Million miles from home, you're on your own.
[Chorus]
G G7
So let me in from the cold.
C Am7
Turn my lead into gold,
G G7
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul,
D7 D9
And I think I'm growing cold.
[Verse 3]
G
Fire bright by candlelight
G7 G6
And her by my side.
G+ G G+ G6 G+ D7 D9
Or if she prefers, we need never stir again.
G Gmaj7
Someone sent the promised land.
G7 G6
Oh, I grabbed it with both hands.
G+ G G+ G6 G+ D7 D9
Now I'm the man on the inside looking out.
[Outro]
G
Hear me shout.
G7 C
Come on in. What's the news?
Am7
Where you been?
G G7
'Cause there's no wind left in my soul,
D7 D9 G
And I've grown old
