G C Restless hearts walking lonely Am F down the snowy back street lines G C Is this the part where the red lights Am F and the pale moon should sway in time? Dm G C But outside there's no music C Am F The wind blows as cars go by Am F It'd be so easy to run back to you tonight C But as long as you're still living G A few short blocks away Am Don't want my heart to go there F C My feet to walk that way F C Don't want my words to come out wrong Am F But every night just seems too long C I don't think that I can stay C Don't think that I can stay G C And isn't life sweet and lovely Am F when you know who's by your side G C Don't gotta ask the god above me Am F Where I should run and hide Dm G C But someone said "Time's a-wastin'" Am F Well I'm not nearly twenty-five Am Should I fear a lonely death F When I'm barely half alive C But as long as you're still living G A few short blocks away Am Don't want my heart to go there F C My feet to walk that way F C Don't want my words to come out wrong Am F But every night just seems too long C I don't think that I can stay C Don't think that I can stay (whistles) C F C F G C F C C F C Even in the morning F G You can't even see the signs C F C He can't walk on water F C And you can't read between these lines Am F So why do you stay G when it seems so hard to breathe? Am F From Stradbroke to highways G His face is all you see Dm And as long as you're still living C a few short blocks away Dm My heart will not go there Dm F C But my feet won't let me stay
