C
[Verse 1]
C
Count the steps around the park
D7
Consider drinking in the yard
F C
Hang the words of a perfect stranger in the hallways of my heart
'Cause all the blessings are somebody else's
D7
They're flowers in my neighbor's pot
F
I'm torn exactly into two pieces
G
One who wants you and one who's gone dark
[Chorus]
C
But I'm still in sight
F
Your fast machine
Am F
Always holding your love supreme
C
Our 45's
F
Spinning out of time
Am G F
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Instrumental]
C
[Verse 2]
C
Are my hopes finally gonna waste me
D7
Am I the worst compass I could know
F
So I took the bus across the bridge
C
Sold my bedroom from my home
Maybe it's the East Coast in the music
D7
Or the endless road from the past
F
But while you're praying at the 90s
G
They're carving up anything that lasts
[Chorus]
C
But I'm still in sight
F
Your fast machine
Am F
Always holding your love supreme
C
Our 45's
F
Spinning out of time
Am G F
But honey, I'm still on your side
[Bridge]
C F
G C F G
No, you're just the stranger that I know best
G C F G
Now you're just the stranger that I love best
G C F G
Now you're just the stranger that I love best
[Verse 3]
C
There ain't no book that I can live by
D7
Just these naggings I can't shake
F
A hum coming from the basement
C
A little crying out for crying outs sake
'Cause if I can learn to love your shadow
D7
When your shadow hits the light
F
And there ain't no trace of what we've been through
G
Then I'll shout it till the day that I die
[Chorus]
C
But I'm still in sight
F
Your fast machine
Am F
Always holding your love supreme
C
Our 45's
F
Spinning out of time
Am G F
But honey, I'm still on your side
C F
Am G F
I'm still on your side
