Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Imagine a jailhouse
Em
Where you’re always free
Am
Imagine a whorehouse
Em
Where you pay no fee
Am B
Imagine my surprise
Em
At what it turned out to be
[Verse 2]
Em Em
So just for a moment, will you listen to me
Am Em
And just for a second take me seriously
Am B
And just for an hour
Em
Get on your knees
[Chorus]
Am B
On that miracle mile
Em
Where I got my start
Am B
Is it a crime
Em
To take it to heart
Am B
Cause the sun never shines
Em
On that great parade
Am B
That leads down the line
Em
That ends at your gate
[Verse 3]
Em
So dream of a sentence
Em
That never ends
Am
Prepare your repentance
Em
Try to make amends
Am B Em
And wait for the hammer to knock you dead
[Verse 4]
Em
And play to the jury
Em
When they’ve fallen asleep
Am
And wait for the fury
Em
Of the blessed meek
Am B
When they find that your story
Em
Has sprung a leak
[Chorus]
Am B
On that miracle mile
Em
Where I got my start
Am B
Is it a crime
Em
To take it to heart
Am B
Cause the sun never shines
Em
On that great parade
Am B
That leads down the line
Em
That ends at your gate
