Chords

Gm
I stepped out of the St. James hotel

And I left you behind curled up like a child

Dm
A change is gonna come

                           Gm
And as the door whispered shut

I walked on down the high-windowed hall

Gm
You lay sleeping on the unmade bed

                                                         Dm
The weatherman on the television in the St. James hotel said

That the rains are gonna come

      Gm
And I stepped out on the streets

All sparkling clean with the early morning dew

D#                  F
Maybe it was you or maybe it was me?

    D                           Gm
You came on like a punch in the heart

D#                   F
Lying there with the light on your hair

       D
Like a Jesus of the moon

                               Gm
A Jesus of the planets and the stars

Gm
Well, I kept thinking about what the weatherman said

And if the voices of the living can be heard by the dead

   Dm
Well, the day is gonna come when we find out

Gm
And in some kind of way I take a little comfort from that

Now and then

Gm
'Cause people often talk about being scared of change

                                                 Dm
But for me I'm more afraid of things staying the same

'Cause the game is never won

Gm
By standing in any one place

For too long

D#                    F
Maybe it was you or maybe it was me?

     D                                         Gm
But there was a chord in you that I could not find to strike

D#                             F
You lying there with all the light in your hair

       D
Like a Jesus of the moon

                               Gm
A Jesus of the planets and the stars

I see the many girls walking down the empty streets Maybe once or twice one of them smiles at me You can't blame anyone for saying hello I say hey I say hello I say hello Will it be me or will it be you? One must stay and one must depart You lying there in the St. James hotel bed Like a Jesus of the moon A Jesus of the planets and the stars I say hello... hello... hello...
