Intro: D A D
D
You've been standin' on the corner for a thousand nights

                                 A
It's the slowest corner known to man
Watchin' strange faces passin' 'neath the lights
                             D
With a bottle wavin' in your hand
You got just enough money for some nothin' to go
                          A
It ain't exactly what you planned
So lonesome that you can't even say hello
                             D
And no one seems to understand

            G                         D
So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd

    A                                D
The ones that only fit where they're not allowed

G                             D
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue.....

          G
Travelin' light

       D                           G
With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through

  D                           G          D
A hole in your soul where the wind blows through

D
You wandered away from your childhood home

                                     A
Nobody cared to trace the tracks you laid
You traveled by night and you traveled alone
                          D
Came to rest at a penny arcade
Well, the last shots over on a Saturday night
                             A
You wake up in the beam of a cop's flashlight
He asks you who you are as if you knew or cared
                                   D
He asks you where you live and you say nowhere

           G                         D
So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd

    A                                D
The ones that only fit where they're not allowed

G                             D
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue.....

          G
Travelin' light

       D                           G
With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through

  D                           G          D
A hole in your soul where the wind blows through

D
I don't know where I got it, but, I got it the same

                               A
It's a feelin' that'll rip you apart
It follows me around like a part of my name
                               D
Like I'm born with a time bomb instead of a heart

            G                         D
So you're a mixed up kid, come on and join the crowd

    A                                D
The ones that only fit where they're not allowed

G                             D
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue.....

       D                           G
With a hole in your soul where the wind blows through

  D                           G          D
A hole in your soul where the wind blows through

G             D
Mixed up kid, join the crowd

A                       D
The ones that only fit, not allowed

G                             D
Out on the streets and you're feelin' blue.....
