In The Hidden Places

Am Dm

[Verse 1]
Am                                      Dm
Autumn came around like a drifter to an onramp
Am                                        Dm
There were wet leaves floating in gutters full of rain
Am                              Dm
Took to walking barefoot around town
F                            G
Melodies from grade school, kicking in my brain
Am                              Dm
Saw you on the crosstown bus today
Am
You were reading a magazine
Dm                                       F
I turned my face away and I shut my eyes tight
       G                                                       Dm
And dreamed about the flowers that hide from the light on dark hillsides
                Am
In the hidden places

Am Dm

[Verse 2]
Am                                              Dm
The brakes howled and the bus pulled up near my house
Am                   Dm
And I got off at the corner
Am                               Dm
Pulled my sleeves down over my hands, over my hands
F
And I wished I was someone else
G
And I wished it was warmer
Am                     Dm
And when I got home, I thought about you
Am                          Dm
Like a desperate policeman, searching for clues
                    F
And I almost passed out, just then
G
And I shut my eyes again
                    Dm
Headed for the dark hillsides
              Am
In the hidden places
