( warm strangers – 2004 )

intro : Dmaj7 Gm ( 2x )

Dmaj7 Gm
mission street is a striking dark – eyed stranger
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
who speaks a language i don’t know but long to learn
Dmaj7 Gm
its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane
Dmaj7 Gm Dmaj7
as i sit as though awaiting some return

D7 G
and my hands are cold tonight
Em
i’m sleepless in this dark
Em A
forgetting what it was i came to find
D7 G
and it seems that i’ve been wrong
Em
more than i’ve been right
Asus4 A
more than i’ve been right

Dmaj7 Gm
mission street calls out to me by name
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
then hurries on before i’ve hardly turned my head
Dmaj7 Gm
promises of answers muttered underneath her breath
Dmaj7 Gm D
like an offering of contraband misread

D7 G
and my hands are cold tonight
Em
on the strings of this guitar
A
looking for the chords of what i’ve left behind
D7 G
and it seems that i’ve been wrong
Em
more than i’ve been right
Asus4 A
more than i’ve been right

interlude : Dmaj7 Gm ( 2x )

Dmaj7 Gm
mission street is alive at every hour
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
like i’ve never been and feared i may not ever be
Dmaj7 Gm
a light so steady on the mountains in the distance
Dmaj7 Gm A
a solitude so deep it might awaken me

D7 G
well my hands are cold tonight
Em
but the sky is bright with stars
A4 A
and i’m tearing through the veil that keeps me blind
D7 G
and it seems the more i’m wrong
Em
the more that i Am right
Asus4 A
the more that i Am right
