A place on the right you can stop for awhile, look out for the policeman

A                                                  Bm
There’s no street lamps, only three buildings and one of them’s vacant

A                                                 Bm
It’s taken all day, the pack’s feeling heavy and soon the night

Trapped for a moment, the sheriff’s department got the wrong guy

Visible wind through the fog
