Infidels (1983) [Verse]
Am                   C                                G
Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed

D                        Am
 Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams

Am          C                                G
 In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed

D                                         Am
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams
[Chorus]
Am
 I and I

   G                    D              Am
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
 I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[Verse]
Am             C                G
Think I'll go out and go for a walk

D                        Am
Not much happenin' here, nothin' ever does

Am          C                                G
Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll just want me to talk

D                                         Am
I got nothin' to say, 'specially about whatever was
[Chorus]
Am
 I and I

   G                    D              Am
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
 I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[Verse]
Am             C                G
Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race

D                        Am
It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth

Am          C                                G
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face

D                                         Am
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
[Chorus]
Am
 I and I

   G                    D              Am
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
 I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[Verse]
Am             C                G
Outside of two men on a train platform there's nobody in sight

D                        Am
They're waiting for spring to come, smoking down the track

Am          C                                G
The world could come to an end tonight, but that's all right

D                                         Am
She should still be there sleepin' when I get back
[Chorus]
Am
 I and I

   G                    D              Am
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
 I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
[Verse]
Am             C                G
Noontime, and I'm still pushin' myself along the road, the darkest part

D                        Am
Into the narrow lanes, I can't stumble or stay put

Am          C                                G
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart

D                                         Am
I've made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot
[Chorus]
Am
 I and I

   G                    D              Am
In creation where one's nature neither honors nor forgives

Am
 I and I

G               D             Am
One says to the other, no man sees my face and lives
