[INTRO (2x)]    
Am C G D    
    
[VERSE]    
Am    
Come, and steal my thoughts away    
             G     
Thief of my identity    
                    F          E    
I was holding on to decency, reality    
Am    
Come, and take me for a while    
            G     
Up to your abundant pace    
                            F             E    
I’ll be your sidecar if you want to race, want to race    
    
[CHORUS]    
F     
Put your hand on mine    
                      C     
And take me from this tired ride    
                  G     
Take me from this early night    
                          Am    
From the sea and rain and countryside    
       F     
If you talk to me then soon    
               C     
I’ll be your accomplice in words    
                 G     
And we will talk only in verse    
             E    
Talk only in verse    
    
[VERSE]    
Am    
I will leave the ones I love    
                   G     
Leave them for the years to come    
                     F            E    
Even though I may be doing wrong, doing wrong    
Am    
I will follow in your steps    
                 G     
Walk out to the station cold    
                           F          E    
Buy a ticket and and then slowly go, slowly go    
    
[CHORUS]    
F     
In this place and time    
            C     
Easy is the first escape    
                   G     
I got money I need no disguise    
                  Am    
I’m a citizen and city wise    
F     
In this time and place    
                         C     
There is no one who will shoot you down    
                G     
No one who will take a girl    
                       A    
And tell her she can’t have the world    
    
[SYNTH G  O - SPONKEN WORD PART (2x)]    
Dm F C G 
    
[VERSE]    
Dm    
Boy, you don’t know what you want    
                  C     
It isn’t what you think it is    
                              A#          A    
All the dreams, and guilt and loneliness, loneliness    
Dm    
Boy, if we were to be friends    
              C     
Subtle is the art required    
                           A#           A    
To draw the evil from this lonely pyre, lonely pyre    
    
[CHORUS (2x)] 
A#   
Take this hand from me    
                        F     
And guide me round your tools of work    
                     C     
Fashion me into your junior clerk    
                       Dm    
Let me live in shadows of your words    
     A#    
When things get tough for you    
                          F     
As they did when you came up through the ranks    
                       C     
You can borrow from my faith    
        A    
From my faith, from my faith...
