D D 
 
G G 
 
You've been avoiding the main streets for a long,
D D

long while

The truth I'm seeking is in

D D 
 
your missing smile

What's your position, baby,

Verse 3
G G 
 
D D 
 
I know everything about this place,
G G 
 
D D 
 
or so it seems
G G 
 
D D 
 
But am I no longer a part of your
G G 
 
D D 
 
plans or your dreams?
G G 
 
Well, it is so obvious that
D D 
 
G G 
 
something has changed
D D 
 
What's happening, baby,
G G 
 
to make you act so strange?
D D 
 
G G 
 

Verse 4
D D 
 
G G 
 
Something is burning, baby,
D D 
 
here's what I say
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Even the bloodhounds of London
G G 
 
D D 
 
couldn't find you today
G G 
 
D D 
 
I see the shadow of a man, baby,
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
making you blue
Who is he, baby,
G G 
 
D D 
 
and what's he to you?
G G 
 
We've reached the

Verse 5
D D 
 
edge of the road,
G G 
 
D D 
 
baby, where the pasture begins
Where the charity is supposed to
G G 
 
D D 
 
cover up a multitude of sins
But where do you live, baby,
G G 
 
D D 
 
and where is the light?
Why are your eyes just star
G G 
 
ing off into the night?
D D 
 
I  can

Verse 6
G G 
 
feel it, in the night, in the night,
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
in the night when I think of you
G G 
 
I can feel it in the light, in the light,
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
in the light and it's got to be true
D D 
 
You can't live by bread alone,
G G 
 
you won't be satisfied
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
You can't roll away the stone
G G 
 
if your hands are tied.
D D 
 
G G 
 

Verse 7
D D 
 
Got to start someplace,
G G 
 
baby, can you explain?
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Please don't fade away on me,
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
baby, like the midnight train
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Answer me, baby, a casual look will do
G G 
 
D D 
 
Just what in the world has come over you?

Verse 8
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
I can feel it in the wind, in the wind,
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
in the wind and it's upside down
D D 
 
I can feel it in the dust as I get off the
G G 
 
D D 
 
bus on the outskirts of town
I've had the Mexico City blues
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
since the last hairpin curve
D D 
 
I don't want to see you bleed,
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
I know what you need and it ain't what you deserve.

Verse 9
D D 
 
Something is burning, baby,
G G 
 
D D 
 
something's in flames
There's a man going 'round
G G 
 
D D 
 
calling names
G G 
 
D D 
 
Ring when you're ready,
G G 
 
D D 
 
baby, I'm waiting for you
I believe in the impossible,
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
you know that I
G G 
 
do.
D D 
 
D D
