verse 1
E A
It was when I rode off in my daydream
E A
Chasing that vision of light
E A
It was then I got caught in the jet stream
E A
And I dropped through a hole in the night
D F#m
Then I knew it's not you that I run from
A B C#m
I saw each of us living alone
D F#m
And I prayed that you'd still could be waiting
A B C#m B
And that's when I started for home

verse 2
E A
I have seen a great city in darkness
E A
Dream lady dressed in cold concrete
E A
And I've seen the city of angels
E A
With the names of its dead in the streets
D F#m
And for once I could see it all your way
A B C#m
And for once I knew I was all wrong
D F#m
And I thought of you there in my doorway
A B C#m B
And I knew I'd been travellin' too long
[Refrão]

E A
When I crossed to the heart of the country
E A
I was lost in a forest of signs
E A
And I laughed 'cause life gets so funny
E A
Here I was wasted from wastin' my time
D F#m
So now shine down you sun on my shadow
A B C#m
Without you I don't mean a thing
D F#m
And gather me one golden morning babe

'Cause it's your song that I need to sing
