[C] [G] I guess [D]
it wouldn't have been so funny I had not just sold mine for less
than staring at the orange [G] smokestacks covering our faces with shadows until [E] they drowned
[D] I guess it's better to have left than never to have left at all
[G] I found myself on a subway coming from the [D] ground
Now I'm not the scientist who's [A] hanging proof
And I [D] don't know where I'm going
Oh, I dance too close to the band that's how I got this ringing in my ears
Listen down, [G] I just can't sleep
[E] From the sound, [D] I can't hear the journey of the day at all
But it's just [A] that night when things get [D] quiet
Like when the subway comes above the ground
Now in Tennessee, it's a [Em] night where I look [G] out for someone to throw me [D] against the wall
I wanted to be inspired and tell this how-to
Spend all the money that I have to hire a room
See his name with [E] flax and yellow light poles all around
[D] You can see he left us in the Mississippi
[F#m] He was a [B] he but 31, he didn't even use a sign
[G] But when he come up that subway, from [D] the ground
He said it's free fare, he said
[E] I was just standing here [G] with a brown [D] dog at my side
See I was just sweating and I was just staring at my end ruins
And I was next [G] to you on that bus going to the rain
[E] Straight out of town
[D] From Memphis to Nashville, your [Em] jaw was wild and pretty and crazy
And he said my ruins [G] were like the outskirts of the city
Oh with all those subways come [D] above the ground
[A] [E] [G] [D]
[G] [E]
[D] [A]
[D] [G] [D]
[C] [Bm] [D] And it was, it was [Em] festival season
You [G] see I went knocking at your [D] door
And you opened up and you let me in
[G] [D] You were [E] crying, [D] you were crying
Oh we stayed up all night, the razors were faying [Em] in our countryside
And we [D] gave him hell, and I told him I won't let you be next to me
But at [G] least I'm right near
When the subway, [A] [G] when the subway comes we will [D] cry
[N]
We will cry
