The White Stripes – City Lights (Guitar)

A
I want to grab a stranger’s hand and

A
Hold it as tightly as I can and

A
I will tell by their reaction if

A
They’re like me or if I am crazy

A
When the lights of the city hit my

A
Eyes on the plane looking out the window

A
I am consumed by a comforting notion

A
That you are there and

A
I am welcome

A
If our miles have added up to

A
A giant pile of distance that we

A
Cannot reach past, climb, or conquer

A
Will you dig a

A
Tunnel to me?

A
Every move suspends an action

A
Any attempt to engage will push away

A
What you want becomes a magnet

A
Opposing poles

A
Never meeting

A
Can you combine a friend and mother?

A
Can you blend a dad and brother?

A
Must we have to pick one or the other?

A
Will we know this or always wonder?

A
(Always wonder)

A
You can tell what you’ve done to me

A
To be seen in hell from your place in a tree

A
Always helping

A
Ever loving

A
But will you always

A
Be above me

A
I won’t ignore nor will not forget

A
The kindness that’s been done to me

A
You are the surest and safest bet that

A
I could ask for

A
So I’m asking

A
Soon we will be side by side the

A
Plane will land and the wings will glide

A
The bags in hand and

A
The car will drive

A
Into you

A
I will arrive

A
By your side

A
By your side
