G              C 
Restless hearts walking lonely 

         Am    F 
down the snowy back street lines 

            G              C 
Is this the part where the red lights 

         Am              F 
and the pale moon should sway in time? 

      Dm      G        C 
But outside there's no music 

           C      Am      F 
The wind blows as cars go by 

            Am           F 
It'd be so easy to run back to you tonight 



                            C 
But as long as you're still living 

                   G 
A few short blocks away 

                           Am 
Don't want my heart to go there 

    F                C 
My feet to walk that way 

               F                C 
Don't want my words to come out wrong 

    Am               F 
But every night just seems too long 

                         C 
I don't think that I can stay 

                       C 
Don't think that I can stay 



          G              C 
And isn't life sweet and lovely  

          Am                F 
when you know who's by your side 

            G           C 
Don't gotta ask the god above me 
  
      Am               F 
Where I should run and hide 

    Dm             G        C 
But someone said "Time's a-wastin'" 

             Am             F 
Well I'm not nearly twenty-five 

                 Am 
Should I fear a lonely death 

         F 
When I'm barely half alive 



                            C 
But as long as you're still living 

                   G 
A few short blocks away 

                           Am 
Don't want my heart to go there 

    F                C 
My feet to walk that way 

               F                C 
Don't want my words to come out wrong 

    Am               F 
But every night just seems too long 

                         C 
I don't think that I can stay 

                       C 
Don't think that I can stay

Even in the morning 

               F       G 
You can't even see the signs 

C                F  C 
He can't walk on water 

                     F           C 
And you can't read between these lines 



   Am         F 
So why do you stay 

        G 
when it seems so hard to breathe? 

      Am           F 
From Stradbroke to highways 

    G 
His face is all you see 



       Dm  
And as long as you're still living

a few short blocks away 

    Dm 
My heart will not go there 

      Dm          F       C 
But my feet won't let me stay
