Em7
Love came to my door

      A7sus4
With a sleeping roll

      D/A
And a madman's soul

               B7sus4
He thought for sure I'd seen him

Gmaj9                      A
Dancing up a river in the dark

                      C    G    A/E   
Looking for a woman to court and spark

A/E E D/E E A/E E D/E E A/E E D/E A/E E D/E E

        Em7
He was playing on the sidewalk

      A7sus4
For passing change

                D/A
When something strange happened

       B7sus4
Glory train passed through him

      Gmaj9
So he buried the coins he made

             A
In People's Park

                               C    G    A/E 
And went looking for a woman to court and spark

A/E E D/E E A/E E D/E E A/E E D/E A/E E D/E E

    C                       G
It seemed like he read my mind

                  D
He saw me mistrusting him

                   A
And still acting kind

                C           G
He saw how I worried sometimes

             A/D
I worry sometimes

A/D(6x) A/E E D/E A/E E D/E A/E E D/E A/E E D/E E

Em7
"All the guilty people," he said

       A7sus4
They've all seen the stain

          D/A
On their daily bread

                   B7sus4   Bm
On their christian names

   Gmaj7
I cleared myself

                 A
I sacrificed my blues

                   C     G
And you could complete me

             A/E
I'd complete you

A/E E D/E E A/E E D/E E A/E E D/E A/E E D/E E

    Em7
His eyes were the colour of the sand

A7sus4
And the sea

          D/A
And the more he talked to me, you know

B9sus4 The more he reached me

       Gmaj9               A
But I couldn't let go of L.A.

            C   G  A/D    
City of the fallen angels

A/E E D/E (6x) End on E
