VERSE 1
G                     Em
 Funny how the cities   always look the same.
G                                 Em
 Holes in your shoes and caught a tune up, up against the way.
 Am7            D         Am7                 D
Another cheap hotel, some girl's shoes on the floor,
     Am7       D
just once more hopin',
C                       C9   C                G
 gonne make it singin', hopin', singin' thru the wire.

CHORUS
            Em
It's been a long time, it's been a long time, honey,
G                         Em
 and your dreams they get old.
Am7            D               Am7        D
This might not be the greatest story ever told,
     Am7      D      C                                 G       Em
just one more heart, one more heart comin' in from the cold.

VERSE 2
Clock in the market square, chiming twelve o'clock.
Somewhere 'cross the border another car gets stopped.
These uniforms asking questions, papers getting read,
I'm feelin' half dead thru the wire.

Am7          D                  Am7           D
 Girls goin' out tonight, while I was playin' soft.
   Am7            D             C
My body's feelin' broken, and I want to turn it off,
                C9                                    G
but I just keep prayin' and playin' and singin' thru the wire.

Thru the wire.
