This Place Has Got No Soul Kid

E                          A
You look around to see the faces and
 the hands
           E                  
of all the kids you never give 
         A
another thought to in your lifetime
E                             A
I've seen you dancing and you look 
like you could use a boy
E                                 
who doesn't use his fist, but 
    A
starts speaking at the right time
E                             A
Just think of London where we could 
be cutting roses
         E                      
from the gardens of the people I 
  A
dream about at nighttime
E                                 
I go out dancing please don't 
          A
leave at this place
E                              
I know you're just like me and I 
          A
can't think too clear at this time

[Chorus]
E                                 
I'll stand outside your window 
    A
with a violin
E                                 
and stay a hundred days until I'm 
B
thin and pale. (x2)

[Verse II:]
E                              A
You took a beating from the bastards
 in the hallway
         E                      
who were down on you because you 
          A
tried to do a little research
E                                 
'Cause all the families had grown up
A
 inside the doctrine
E                                 
which built around the history 
      A
that was built around the new church
E                             A
I met a girl who said she's nearly 
found her husband
   E                               
She fantasized about the boys that 
A
do it in the school yard
Continues after the ad
E                            A
She went out dancing and she felt a 
little guilty
E                             A
She met a Latin boy, let her pants 
down with her guard.

[Chorus II:]
E                                 
I'll stand outside your window 
    A
with a violin
E                               
and stay a hundred days until I'm 
   B
thin and pale. (x2)


[Verse III:]
E                           A
Be sure to call me when you get in 
from the station
       E                           
don't cry a river on me 'cause this
  A
 place has got no soul, kid
E                             A
Don't let time taste all the racket 
at the table
   E                            
I know you're just Stephen, it's 
  A
what we've always wanted
E                         A
It's kind of comical but somehow so 
depressing
  E                            A
I know he really loves you, so naive
 and full of answers
E                         A
I've got a scar for every time I've 
gotten lonely
      E                            
But I never want to know the 
  A
fragile safety of a dancer
E                               A
Be sure to call me when you get in 
from the station
      E                            
We'll go outside and talk about the
 A
 beauty of the subtext.

[Verse IV:]
E                             A
'Cause I was with her when we caught
 our breath on (street name?)
    E                              
We took some local listings we were
 A
 wondering what to do next
  E                     A
I felt so lonely but I felt so very 
free
          E                        
Among the grayness and the pallor 
  A
he colored in a lifetime.
E                          A
I got up late and I stared out of 
open windows
        E
wishing you were down her venting to
 me
 A
drinking while the smoke settles.

[Chorus III:]
E                                 
I'll stand outside your window 
   A
with a violin
E                               
and stay a hundred days until I'm 
   B
thin and pale. (x5)

E                           A    
And these are the kinds of ragged
             E                 A
 things fast boys will never know
E                          A     
And these are the kinds of ragged
             E               
 things fast girls will never 
  A
know.(x2)

[Verse V:]
E                                 
So she was standing in the kitchen
         A
 and she looked like hell
E                                  
But so did all the rest of us it's 
B
been too long.
E                                 
So she was standing in the kitchen
         A
 and she looked like hell
E                                  
But so did all the rest of us it's 
B               E
been too long.
