G5
I stepped out of the St. James hotel
And I left you behind curled up like a child
D5
A change is gonna come
                           G5
And as the door whispered shut
I walked on down the high-windowed hall


G5
You lay sleeping on the unmade bed
                                                         D5
The weatherman on the television in the St. James hotel said
That the rains are gonna come
      G5
And I stepped out on the streets
All sparkling clean with the early morning dew


Eb5                  F5
Maybe it was you or maybe it was me?
    D5                           G5
You came on like a punch in the heart
Eb5                   F5
Lying there with the light on your hair
       D5
Like a Jesus of the moon
                               G5
A Jesus of the planets and the stars


G5
Well, I kept thinking about what the weatherman said
And if the voices of the living can be heard by the dead
   D5
Well, the day is gonna come when we find out
G5
And in some kind of way I take a little comfort from that
Now and then


G5
'Cause people often talk about being scared of change
                                                 D5
But for me I'm more afraid of things staying the same
'Cause the game is never won
G5
By standing in any one place
For too long


Eb5                    F5
Maybe it was you or maybe it was me?
     D5                                         G5
But there was a chord in you that I could not find to strike
Eb5                             F5
You lying there with all the light in your hair
       D5
Like a Jesus of the moon
                               G5
A Jesus of the planets and the stars


I see the many girls walking down the empty streets
Maybe once or twice one of them smiles at me
You can't blame anyone for saying hello
I say hey
I say hello? I say hello?

Will it be me or will it be you?
One must stay and one must depart
You lying there in the St. James hotel bed
Like a Jesus of the moon
A Jesus of the planets and the stars

I say hello... hello... hello...
