Down on the street

  Gmaj7
I got someone

  Em                 D
I really want you to meet

        A7         Em
In good time, like all things

Gmaj7          F#min
A prayer for a plumb

Gmaj7
Up all night

  Em                    D
Waiting for the mail to come

        A7      Em
In a light-less window
Bridge:
Bm                            Em      A
I've been afraid to depend on love
Chorus:
         D         A       G
And it's fare-thee-well my friend

                    Em       D
I'll see you at the promised end

          A7       Em
Where the wind is laughter

         D       A     G
And that home we never made

                  Em     D
Is waiting in the desert shade

     A7       Em
Happily ever after

I really want you to meet

Step into place

Gmaj7
Take my heart

Em                   D
Put it in a pillow case

           A7       Em
It's been still for hours
Bridge:
Bm                                 Em      
We can get high down on old King's road

                           Bm
And watch as the lights explode

                              Em      A
I can get lost if you want me to
Chorus:
         D         A       G
And it's fare-thee-well my friend

                    Em       D
I'll see you at the promised end

          A       Em
Where the wind is laughter

         D       A     G
And that home we never made

                  Em     D
Is waiting in the desert shade

     A       Em
Happily ever after

       D       A       G
Like a bird on broken wing

             Em        D
I've been so afraid to sing

        A         Em
All my life I've wanted

        D       A          G
In this violent world that spins

             Em         D
I've been so afraid to live

       A         Em
By the lights of comets
