GmI (355333@1)stepped out of the St. James hotel
And I left you behind curled up like a child
DmA (xx0231@1)change is gonna come
                           GmAnd (355333@1)as the door whispered shut
I walked on down the high-windowed hall

GmYou (355333@1)lay sleeping on the unmade bed
                                                         DmThe (xx0231@1)weatherman on the television in the St. James hotel said
That the rains are gonna come
      GmAnd (355333@1)I stepped out on the streets
All sparkling clean with the early morning dew

Eb (x43121@3)                FMaybe (133211@1)it was you or maybe it was me?
    D (xx0232@1)                         GmYou (355333@1)came on like a punch in the heart
Eb (x43121@3)                 FLying (133211@1)there with the light on your hair
       DLike (xx0232@1)a Jesus of the moon
                               GmA (355333@1)Jesus of the planets and the stars

GmWell, (355333@1)I kept thinking about what the weatherman said
And if the voices of the living can be heard by the dead
   DmWell, (xx0231@1)the day is gonna come when we find out
GmAnd (355333@1)in some kind of way I take a little comfort from that
Now and then

Gm'Cause (355333@1)people often talk about being scared of change
                                                 DmBut (xx0231@1)for me I'm more afraid of things staying the same
'Cause the game is never won
GmBy (355333@1)standing in any one place
For too long

Eb (x43121@3)                  FMaybe (133211@1)it was you or maybe it was me?
     D (xx0232@1)                                       GmBut (355333@1)there was a chord in you that I could not find to strike
Eb (x43121@3)                           FYou (133211@1)lying there with all the light in your hair
       DLike (xx0232@1)a Jesus of the moon
                               GmA (355333@1)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...
