Fm
Midnight, moonlight
Fm
The wind blows off Saint Clair
Fm
I'm stuck at a red light, waiting
Fm
At 6 Mile & Delaware
Fm
The sound of a distant Firebird
Fm
The echo of a rhyme - Smokey's words
Fm
And absence, sweet absence
Fm
Fills the freezing air

[Verse 2]
          Fm
I've been wayside for years now
    Eb
But no one seems to care
                  Bb
Their eyes on the distant horizon
  Db
I drove them out of here
  Fm
I gave you the American dream
         Eb
And the music for your movie scene
        Bb
But you left me, bleeding
   Db
So listen to my prayer

[Chorus]
Db               Cm                 Fm
You can break my heart and crush my dreams
                            Db
But you can never take my soul
                 Cm                 Fm
You can crack my stones and melt my steel
                         Ab Db
But you can never take my soul
                 Cm                 Fm
You can break my heart and crush my dreams
                            Db
But you can never take my soul
                 Cm                 Fm
You can crack my stones and melt my steel
                            Fm
But you can never take my soul
                             Db
Mmm, you can never take my soul
