VERSE 1:
In a

[Cadd9], with black

[Bb] [C] near the

[Cadd9] [G/B]
[Bb] Black-
[C]-roof
[D] country
[Cadd9], no gold

[Cadd9] [G/B]

[Cadd9], run down

[Cadd9] [G/B] [Bb] [C]
BRIDGE 1:
I'll
[C] wait in this
[G] place
Where the
[Bb] sun never
[A] shines
[C] Wait in this
[G] place
Where the
[Bb] shadows
[C] run from them-
[D]-selves
VERSE 2:
You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out felt my own need just beginning.
BRIDGE 2:
I'll
[C] wait in the
[G] queue
When the
[Bb] trains come
[A] back
I'll
[C] wait for
[G] you
Where the
[Bb] shadows
[C] run from them-
[D]-selves
VERSE 3:
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation from the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's jst dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings
BRIDGE 3:
I'll
[C] sleep in this
[G] place
With the
[Bb] lonely
[A] crowd,
[C] Lie in the
[G] dark
Where the
[Bb] shadows
[C] run from them-
[D]-selves
