Verse 1
(G major) (B minor) (G major) (B minor) Set another
(G major) place at the table
cause I (B minor) must be dreaming
Sitting (G major) by the side of the window,
your (B minor) shadow is gleaming
I'm (D major) rubbing on my eyes
but you don't (C major) seem to go away
I could (G major) almost half believe
that you (B minor) mean to stay (G major) (B minor)
Talk (G major) ing with Freight Car Betty
about the state (B minor) of the nation
She told (G major) me everything she
knew without (B minor) hesitation
Myster (D major) ious ways are the order of the (C major) day,
we all know it
There's a (G major) heart up every sleeve,
but who has (B minor) time to show it? (G major)
Hanging around (B minor) on the ground,
smil (A minor) ing up my sleeve
To (B minor) make a dream get real,
you gotta choose (A minor) what to believe
Everything (C major) comes around
if you (B minor) know how to wait
Resign (A minor) yourself
to wander hand in (D major) hand with
fate (G major) (B minor) (G major) (B minor)
The stranger (G major) from Twentynine Palms
dims (B minor) the light of the moon
Caresses (G major) his sad guitar
and plays a (B minor) highway tune
Lil (D major) lies of the morning wake up
in (C major) the midnight baffle
Yearn (G major) ing for that lonesome road
some (B minor) hobo traveled (G major) (B minor)
Wander (G major) through the catacombs
looking for (B minor) a heart to believe in
Don't (G major) seem to find it
so I reckon that it's (B minor) not the season
Wander (D major) through loss
till I find a place (C major) to take my ease in
Where a (G major) handful of dark flowers
bloom
for (B minor) their own good reason (G major) (B minor)
Wis (G major) dom is a way of looking at
the (B minor) bright side of sadness
The (G major) prospect of joy in between
in (B minor) terludes of madness
We (D major) all know meaning
is essen (C major) tially a relative thing
But (G major) what you can't exactly say
you can (B minor) sometimes sing (G major)
Hanging around (B minor) on the ground
Smiling (A minor) up my sleeve
To (B minor) make a dream get real
Gotta choose (A minor) what to believe
Everything (C major) comes around
And if you (B minor) know how to wait,
resign (A minor) yourself to wander hand -in
(D major) -hand with fate (G major) (B minor) (G major)
(B minor)
In convin (G major) cing myself
I lived the only (B minor) life I could
Blew it (G major) bad a time or two,
and that's un (B minor) derstood
So I com (D major) mend my soul
to grace and accept (C major) defeat
As (G major) things that matter
each vanish down a (B minor) one -way street
But (G major) here by the window
I can see (B minor) your shadow gleaming
Or (G major) in at the curtain
the morning sun (B minor) comes streaming
I (D major) feel a beat in a place
that seemed (C major) cold as stone
So I (G major) guess my heart still has
a life (B minor) of its own (G major)
Hanging around (B minor) on the ground
Smil (A minor) ing up my sleeve
To (B minor) make a dream get real
Gotta choose (A minor) what to believe
Everything (C major) comes around
If you (B minor) know how to wait
Resign (A minor) yourself to wonder
Hand in (D major) hand with fate
Hangin' (B minor) around on the ground,
smil (A minor) in' up my sleeve
To (B minor) make a dream get real,
gotta choose (A minor) what to believe
Everything (C major) comes around
if you (B minor) know how to wait
Resign (A minor) yourself to wander
hand in (D major) hand with fate (G major) (B minor) (G major) (B minor)
Sit another (G major) place at the table,
cause (B minor) I must be dreamin'
