[Intro] G D Em C G D C C

            G               D     
 I saw them standing in the rain
 Em                C   
 Out on Seventh Avenue
             G                     D              C  C        
 He held her close, like she might fall if he let go
               G               D
 He helped her in, he shut the door
         Em              C 
 And our eyes met in the mirror
          G                  D               G     C G
 "To Englewood, just take it slow" is all he said

              C                 Em
 And into the stream we pulled away
           D                 C
 I know it well, this old ballet
             C                 Em
 Finding the flow, minding the sway
          G                    C    C
 Catching green lights all the way

          G              D
 Up Amsterdam, the meter dark
 Em                  C
 I turned off the radio
                G                   D            C      C
 She whispered "Thanks, I could not bear another word."
            G                   D
 Out on the bridge, the traffic slowed
 Em                       C
 The brake lights and the wash
              G                D               G     C  G
 Of all those truckers heading south on ninety-five

                C               Em
 And across the span we pulled away
           D                 C   
 I know it well, this old ballet
             C                 Em
 Finding the flow, minding the sway
          G                    C    C
 Catching green lights all the way
                    D
 And I brought them home
                Em    C
 I brought them home
                G            D            G     D  C  C
 I brought them home in that cruel, cruel rain

[Bridge]

              G                       D
 And now it's spring, and where's the rain
 Em                        C
 All the wells are running dry
         G               D                   C    C
 And the reservoirs have reached an all-time low
             G              D
 And if this red light ever turns
 Em                           C
 If I can make it through the park
             G            D                G    C  G
 I'll head uptown for the last fare of the day

             C             Em
 And turn it does, I pull away
           D                 C
 I know it well, this old ballet
             C                 Em
 Finding the flow, minding the sway
          G                    C    C 
 Catching green lights all the way

                G                D
 And there they are, outside St. Luke's
 Em                     C
 With their flowers and balloons
      G               D           C     C
 All amazement at the baby in her arms
          G              D
 As Amsterdam makes us a place
 Em              C
 I ask about her name
            G                  D                 G     C  G
 And we all laugh when he says Hope and she says Grace

             C                   Em
 And then it starts, the heavens give
           D                 C
 I know it well, this old ballet
             C                 Em
 Finding the flow, minding the sway
          G                    C    C
 Catching green lights all the way
                D
 I brought them home
           Em         C
 I brought them home
                G            D            Em    C
 I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
                G            D            G     C  G
 I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
