inro : C Am G C Am G

verse 1
C
you step through me
Am G
and the screen door hits the wood
G
and your packing all your things
C Am G
you say your moving out to there to hollywood
G
and i can’t do a thing

pre – chorus 1
C
you say there’s nothing for you
G
in this cardboard town
C
and every bridge you cross
G
your gonna burn it to the ground
C G Em
you wont listen to a word that i’m telling ya

chorus
C
so who’s running through the halls
G
in the houses of pain
C
that are staring back at me
G
like the ocean from a plane
C
i swear i’ve seen your eyes
G Em
in the ghost of philadelphia

verse 2
i think about you late at night sometimes
when i can’t sleep
cause i can hear the train
it’s always there
you just don’t know it
till a quarter to three
you just can’t hear it in the day

pre – chorus 2
when every body’s got your number
in a plexy glass town
where the birds ain’t got wings
but no one makes a sound
cause they all know how to fly
just i wouldn’t buy what they’re selling ya

chorus
so who’s running through the halls
in the houses of pain
that are staring back at me
like the ocean from a plane
i swear i’ve seen your eyes
in the ghost of philadelphia

verse 3
i run into your old man every once and again
mostly in the spring
reminds me of our younger and more genuine days when
you weren’t so out of reach

pre – chorus 3
still for all your running
you just can’t change a mile
of the things you carry around
in the closet of your mind
and the days keep coming man
they never fail ya

bridge
C
your never gonna run away
C
from what your hanging round your head
Em
your never gonna run away
Em
from what your hanging round your head
C
your never gonna run away
C
from what your hanging round your head
Em
and i’m never gonna run away
Em
from what you said
