G6* 355400 [Intro] Cadd9 F (x4) [Verse 1]

C                                 F
    You've been out on the street

C                                 F
    Talkin' bout the war with me

C                                  F
    And the background is at night

C                              F
    Don't want to hesitate

C                                           F
    Will they tell me where you're hiding?

C                                           F
    But through the haze there's no one there

C                          F
    Tell me that you care

C                                         F
    Callin' out your name in the darkness

(Repeat Intro)

C                                   F
    When I'm done with my time here

C                                    F
    I'm going to keep staying strong

C                        F
    Through the railways

C                         F
    But I never mind going

C                                          F
    And I realize now that the road is bare

          Am   G6 F               C           Gadd11
    And I hear it all through the grand parade

[Chorus]

Am              Em            F
    And I don't mind you disappearing

Am           Em              F
    'Cause I know you can be found

Am        Em            F                       C   Gadd11
    We be liven' on the dark side of the street, damn

Am          Em            F
    When we livin' in the moment

Am       Em          F
    And choosing our path

Am   Em       F              C          Gadd11          C
    Making it last with the grand parade in our past

(Repeat Intro) [Verse 2]

C               F            C               F
    Sometimes I wait for the cold wind to blow

         C                             F     G                F
    As I struggle with myself right now as I let the darkness in

C                    F          C                              F
    But I don't mind chasing you through the back ways for the keys

       Am       G6     F           C       Gadd11
    It evaporates and fades like a grand parade

[Chorus]

Am              Em             F
    And I don't mind you disappearing

Am          Em              F
    When I know you can be found

Am           Em            F                      C             Gadd11
    When you livin' on the dark side of the street, hanging around

Am          Em            F     Am Em        F  Am  Em         F                C        Gadd11
    We just livin' in the moment, making our path, losin' our grasp through the grand parade

[Bridge] F G Cmaj7 F G6* F Am G6 F C Gadd11 [Verse 3]

C            Am     F         C
    I'll be here or I'll fade away

          Am         F      C       Am          F
    Never cared about moving, never cared about now

C           Am        F
    Not the notes I'm playing

C            Am     F        C      Am        F
    Is there room in the dark, in between the changes?

C           Am          F       C     Am         F       C
    Like a light that's drifting, in reverse I'm moving
