[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
C
Count the steps around the park
                         D7
Consider drinking in the yard
           F                                  C
Hang the words of a perfect stranger in the hallways of my heart
 
'Cause all the blessings are somebody else's
D7
They're flowers in my neighbor's pot
          F
I'm torn exactly into two pieces
               G
One who wants you and one who's gone dark
 
[Chorus]
                   C
But I'm still in sight
            F
Your fast machine
         Am                 F
Always holding your love supreme
    C
Our 45's
                 F
Spinning out of time
            Am          G     F
But honey, I'm still on your side
 
[Instrumental]
C
 
[Verse 2]
        C
Are my hopes finally gonna waste me
          D7
Am I the worst compass I could know
               F
So I took the bus across the bridge
          C
Sold my bedroom from my home
 
Maybe it's the East Coast in the music
        D7
Or the endless road from the past
                                F
But while you're praying at the 90s
                                   G
They're carving up anything that lasts
 
[Chorus]
                   C
But I'm still in sight
            F
Your fast machine
         Am                 F
Always holding your love supreme
    C
Our 45's
                 F
Spinning out of time
            Am          G     F
But honey, I'm still on your side
 
[Bridge]
C   F
 
G                                        C   F   G
No, you're just the stranger that I know best
G                                         C   F  G
Now you're just the stranger that I love best
G                                         C   F  G
Now you're just the stranger that I love best
 
[Verse 3]
C
There ain't no book that I can live by
            D7
Just these naggings I can't shake
   F
A hum coming from the basement
          C
A little crying out for crying outs sake
 
'Cause if I can learn to love your shadow
            D7
When your shadow hits the light
                    F
And there ain't no trace of what we've been through
            G
Then I'll shout it till the day that I die
 
[Chorus]
                   C
But I'm still in sight
            F
Your fast machine
         Am                 F
Always holding your love supreme
    C
Our 45's
                 F
Spinning out of time
            Am          G     F
But honey, I'm still on your side
 
C    G  F
 
C          G     F
I'm still on your side
