This next song is for Ben.
[Em]
[C]
[Am] I'd have thought this was a bit too heavy for Ben.
[D]
[Em] This next song is for me.
[D]
[Em] In a sense it don't come easy, [C] in a sense it never will.
[Am] Acts that judge me, no one's guilty.
[D] Ignorance means someone's killed.
[Em] So I ask down the misty mellow, [C] I dig into where one's going.
[Am] And it points to his survival, and [G] it points me [D] down the road.
And [Em] I go out on the day that [C] I'm low, wondering if I've got a [D] song.
Counting down the hours till it goes.
[F#m] [G]
[Em] On a dark wet night in April, on [C] a street in Jersey where,
I [Am] went looking for some lighted, that I knew would [F#] not be there.
And I [Em] projected on the vellum [C] and the foliage in the rain.
[Am] I was concerned more with the carpet, [G] with the fact the light [F#] had changed.
But [Em] after listening in on the morning, [C] the sun drove down ninety-five.
[Am] Through a story of the day, through [G] a family kept [F#] alive.
I [Em] could see which side of the process, which [C] is acting like that does.
But [Am] not really, the series of my power lies.
[F#] But as I [E] go [Em] on and on, and living that [C] life,
I'm dreaming if I've got a song.
[D] Counting down the hours till [Gm] it goes.
[Em]
[C] [A]
[G] [Gm] [Em]
[F] [A]
[D] [F#] [E] No precautions, [C] just precautions.
But if you're [D] playing with a gun, [A] you can kill [G] someone.
[E] And in the dark it's [C] hard to know a sign.
But [D] I'm not angry, I won't be forever [G] angry.
[Em] So I can't tell tomorrow, [C] the new life will be in my hand.
[A] And I'm thinking about New England, [G] but I'm missing out [F#] on Japan.
[Em] And I'm not in California [C] where the spring runs hot and cold.
[A] Told you I'm not angry, but [G] you tell me [F#] I'm not.
So [E] I go, I'm dreaming
[C] if I've got a song.
[D] Counting down the hours [G] till it goes.
[Em] I'm dreaming
[A] if I've got a song.
