Intro 1
(E minor) (D major) (E minor)
Verse 1
Oh, (E minor)
it's true (C major) that all the men you knew
were deal (G major) ers
Said they were through with deal (D major) ing
Every time you gave them shel (E minor) ter
I know (D major) that kind of man
It's hard to hold (E minor) a hand
Of anyone who's reach (D major) ing for the sky
Is to surrender (E minor)
Who's (D major) reaching for the sky
Is to surrender (E minor)
And then sweep (C major) ing up the jokers
that he left (G major) behind
You find he didn't leave (D major) you
very much,
not even last (E minor)
Like any (D major) dealer,
he was watching for the (E minor) car
That is so high and wild,
you (D major) never need to deal another (E minor)
He was just (D major) some Joseph
looking for a manger (E minor)
He was just (D major) some Joseph
looking for a manger (E minor)
And then lean (C major) ing on your windowsill
you say (G major) one day
It cost his will to (D major) weaken with your love
and warmth and (E minor) shelter
And then taking (D major) from his wallet
an old sched (E minor) ule of trains
He told I (D major) when I came
I was a (E minor) stranger
I told (D major) you when I came I was a stranger (E minor)
Well now, (C major) another stranger
seemed to want (G major) you to ignore his dreams
As though they (D major) were the
burden of some oth (E minor) er
Oh, you see (D major) that (B minor) man (D major) before,
his cold alarm, (E minor) his patching cards
But now it's rus (D major) ted from the
elbow to the finger (E minor)
And he want (D major) s to trade the game
he plays for shel (E minor) ter
Yes, he want (D major) s to trade the game
he knows for shelter (E minor)
I'll hate (C major) to watch another tired man
(G major) lay down his hand
Like he was (D major) giving up
the holy came of (E minor) foca
And while he talk (D major) s his dreams to sleep,
you notice there's (E minor) a highway
That it's curl (D major) ing up like smoke
above his shoulder (E minor)
It's (D major) curling up like smoke
above his shoulder (E minor)
It's (D major) (C major) Helen to come in, sit down,
but something (G major) makes you turn around
The door is (D major) open and you can,
you can close your (E minor) shelter
You try to (D major) handle of (B minor) the (D major) road,
it opens, (E minor) do not be afraid
It's you my (D major) love,
you who are the stranger (E minor)
It's (D major) you my love,
you who are the stranger (E minor)
I've (C major) been waiting and I was
sure we'd meet
(G major) between the trains we're (D major) (G major) waiting (D major) for
I think it's time to board an (E minor) other
Please under (D major) stand
(B minor) I (D major) never had a secret chart
(E minor) to get me through the heart of this
Or (D major) any, any other man (E minor)
When he talks like (D major) this,
you don't know what he's af (E minor) ter
When he speak (D major) s like this,
you don't know what he's af (E minor) ter
Let's (C major) meet tomorrow, if you choose,
upon (G major) the shore
Beneath the bridge that (D major) they are building
on Sumanda's river (E minor)
Then he leaves (D major) the platform
for the sleeping car
It's (E minor) warm, (D major) you realize, (E minor)
he's only (D major) advertising
One more shelter, (E minor) and it comes (D major) to you
He never was a (E minor) stranger
And you say, (D major) okay,
the bridge is someplace later (E minor)
