Riff - D- (xx0232@1)C (x32010@1)C- (x32010@1)G (320003@1)Verse
And on the inside, I'm on my knees
Crawling an aching mile, living on the Bowery 
Too sick to stand, to try to understand

But you Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You Elevate me
You throw off the shame

And you dance on stilts with me
You throw off the shame 
And you dance on stilts with me

They ache for an outbound train 
And the wheels stopped turning in their brains
